Unified model for breathing solitons in fibre lasers: Mechanisms across below- and above-threshold regimes

Ying Zhang, Bo Yuan, Junsong Peng +6

The emergence of breathing solitons in mode-locked lasers presents a fundamental challenge for the theoretical modelling of mode locking, with the mechanisms underlying below- and…

Nonlinear dynamics in breathing-soliton lasers

Junsong Peng, Xiuqi Wu, Huiyu Kang +5

We review recent advances in the study of nonlinear dynamics in mode-locked fibre lasers operating in the breathing (pulsating) soliton regime. Leveraging advanced diagnostics and…

Unveiling the complexity of Arnold's tongues in a breathing-soliton laser

Xiuqi Wu, Junsong Peng, Bo Yuan +3

Synchronization occurs ubiquitously in nature and science. The synchronization regions generally broaden monotonically with the strength of the forcing, thereby featuring a tongue-…

Observation of optical chaotic solitons and modulated subharmonic route to chaos in mode-locked laser

Huiyu Kang, Anran Zhou, Ying Zhang +6

We reveal a new scenario for the transition of solitons to chaos in a mode-locked fiber laser: the modulated subharmonic route. Its universality is confirmed in two different laser…

Synchronisation, desynchronisation and intermediate regime of breathing solitons and soliton molecules in a laser cavity

Xiuqi Wu, Junsong Peng, Sonia Boscolo +2

We report on the experimental and numerical observations of synchronisation and desynchronisation of bound states of multiple breathing solitons (breathing soliton molecules) in an…

Control of spectral extreme events in ultrafast fibre lasers by a genetic algorithm

Xiuqi Wu, Ying Zhang, Junsong Peng +3

Extreme wave events or rogue waves (RWs) are both statistically rare and of exceptionally large amplitude. They are observed in many complex systems ranging from oceanic and optica…
