In recent years, 2D layered materials, including graphene, topological insulators, transition
metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, MXenes, graphitic carbon nitride, and metal …

Over a decade ago, an analogy was drawn between the generation of large ocean waves
and the propagation of light fields in optical fibres. This analogy drove numerous …

Real-time spectroscopy access to ultrafast fiber lasers opens new opportunities for exploring
complex soliton interaction dynamics. Here, we have reported the first observation, to the …

Harmonic mode‐locking (HML) is an important technique enabling the generation of high‐
repetition‐rate ultrashort pulses. Using an emerging time‐stretch dispersive Fourier …

The fractional Schrödinger equation (FSE)—a natural extension of the standard Schrödinger
equation—is the basis of fractional quantum mechanics. It can be obtained by replacing the …

Observing non-repetitive and statistically rare signals that occur on short timescales requires
fast real-time measurements that exceed the speed, precision and record length of …

Dissipative solitons are remarkably localized states of a physical system that arise from the
dynamical balance between nonlinearity, dispersion and environmental energy exchange …

Dissipative solitons are self-localized coherent structures arising from the balance between
energy supply and dissipation. Besides stationary dissipative solitons, there are dynamical …

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 …

Pure-quartic solitons (PQSs) with higher energy in short pulse width have been generated in
the mode-locked fiber laser recently, and soliton molecules have been found as a means to …
