Breathing Solitons in a Passively Harmonic Mode-Locked Fibre Laser
We report on the first experimental observation of breathing solitons in a passively harmonic mode-locked fibre laser. Various features of a 4th-harmonic operation state showing breather oscillations with a period of 5 roundtrips are discussed.
Nonlinear pulse shaping and polarization dynamics in mode-locked fiber lasers
International audience; We review our recent progress on the study of new nonlinear mechanisms of pulse shaping in passively mode-locked fiber lasers. These include a mode-locking regime featuring pulses with a triangular distribution of the intensity, and spectral compression arising from nonlinear pulse propagation. We also report on our recent experimental studies unveiling new types of vector solitons with processing states of polarization for multi-pulse and tightly bound-state soliton (soliton molecule) operations in a carbon nanotube (CNT) mode-locked fiber laser with anomalous dispersion cavity.
