description

The concept of a "dissipative soliton" provides an excellent framework for understanding complex mode-locked laser pulse dynamics from a unified picture. It has stimulated innovative laser cavity designs in the past few years. This tutorial lecture provides conceptual pictures illustrated with universal dynamics, highlights recent achievements and prospects for mode-locked laser development.
