Dissipative solitons are localized formations of an electromagnetic field that are balanced
through an energy exchange with the environment in presence of nonlinearity, dispersion …

Dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) is a promising approach for real time, high precision, and
high sensitivity Fourier-transform spectroscopy. DCS requires a pair of tightly phase-locked …

Real-time access to the internal ultrafast dynamics of complex dissipative optical systems
opens new explorations of pulse-pulse interactions and dynamic patterns. We present the …

Ultrashort optical pulses propagating in a dissipative nonlinear system can interact and bind
stably, forming optical soliton molecules. Soliton molecules in ultrafast lasers are under …

Formation of coherent structures and patterns from unstable uniform state or noise is a
fundamental physical phenomenon that occurs in various areas of science ranging from …

Mode-locked lasers have been widely used to explore interactions between optical solitons,
including bound-soliton states that may be regarded as “photonic molecules”. Conventional …

A model describing the dissipative soliton evolution in a passively mode-locked fiber laser is
proposed by using the nonlinear polarization rotation technique and the spectral filtering …

Optical soliton molecules are bound states of solitons that arise from the balance between
attractive and repulsive effects. Having been observed in systems ranging from optical fibres …

Soliton explosion refers to a striking nonlinear dynamics in dissipative systems. In this state,
a dissipative soliton collapses but returns back to its original state afterwards. Yet, the origin …

We report on pulse evolution without wave breaking in a strongly dissipative-dispersive
laser system where pulses encounter significant amounts of positive and negative …
