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 …

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

Carbon nanotube (CNT) can work as excellent saturable absorber (SA) due to its
advantages of fast recovery, low saturation intensity, polarization insensitivity, deep …

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 …

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 …

Pulsation is a universal phenomenon that exists in diverse fields. For nonlinear optics, the
soliton pulsating behavior can be meaningful for fundamental physics and industrial …

We study theoretically and experimentally the subharmonic entrainment (SHE) breather
soliton in mode-locked lasers for the first time, in which the ratio of the breather period to the …

We report on the experimental and numerical observations of synchronization and
desynchronization of bound states of multiple breathing solitons (breathing soliton …

Particle-like structures of solitons, as a result of the balance between dispersion and
nonlinearity, enable remarkable elastic and inelastic soliton collisions in many fields …

Period doubling is a universal bifurcation of central importance in all disciplines of nonlinear
science, which generally signals the existence of chaotic dynamics in the vicinity of the …
