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…

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…

Intelligent breathing soliton generation in ultrafast fibre lasers

Xiuqi Wu, Junsong Peng, Sonia Boscolo +3

Harnessing pulse generation from an ultrafast laser is a challenging task as reaching a specific mode-locked regime generally involves adjusting multiple control parameters, in con…

Breather molecular complexes in a passively mode-locked fibre laser

Junsong Peng, Zihan Zhao, Sonia Boscolo +4

Breathing solitons are nonlinear waves in which the energy concentrates in a localized and oscillatory fashion. Similarly to stationary solitons, breathers in dissipative systems c…

Watt-level ultrahigh-OSNR single-longitudinal-mode tunable Brillouin fiber laser

Gaomeng Wang, Li Zhan, Jinmei Liu +5

A watt-level ultrahigh optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) tunable Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) has been demonstrated.By optimizing the length of the…

Soliton-similariton switchable ultrafast fiber laser

Junsong Peng, Li Zhan, Pan Guo +4

For the first time, we demonstrated alternative generation of dispersion-managed (DM) solitons or similaritons in an all-fiber Erbium-doped laser. DM solitons or similaritons can b…

Experimental Observation of Transitions of Different Pulse Solutions of Ginzburg-Landau Equation in a Mode-Locked Fiber Laser

Junsong Peng, Li Zhan, Zhaochang Gu +2

Transitions between different kinds of soliton solutions of Ginzburg-Landau equation (GLE) have been studied experimentally in a mode-locked fiber laser. It is demonstrated that th…
