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…

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…

Terahertz semiconductor laser chaos

Binbin Liu, Carlo Silvestri, Kang Zhou +12

Chaos characterized by its irregularity and high sensitivity to initial conditions finds various applications in secure optical communications, random number generations, light det…

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…

Farey tree and devil's staircase of frequency-locked breathers in ultrafast lasers

Xiuqi Wu, Ying Zhang, Junsong Peng +3

Nonlinear systems with two competing frequencies show locking or resonances. In lasers, the two interacting frequencies can be the cavity repetition rate and a frequency externally…
