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…
