Abstract
It's challenging to measure non-repetitive events in real time in the field of instrumentation and measurement. Dispersive Fourier transformation is an emerging method that permits capture of rare events, such as optical rogue waves and rare cancer cells in blood. This Review article covers the principle of dispersive Fourier transformation and its implementation in diverse applications.

Optical soliton molecular complexes in a passively mode-locked fibre laser.

TL;DR: Stable soliton molecule complexes are demonstrated and the different bonds represented by the inter- and intra-molecular coupling are explored, showing the universality of these multi-soliton optical patterns.

Coherence and shot-to-shot spectral fluctuations in noise-like ultrafast fiber lasers

TL;DR: The lack of phase coherence across the seemingly regular array of pulses is proved by measuring the degree of first-order coherence using a Young's-type interference experiment and proving the existence of spectral fluctuations that remain unresolved in conventional time-averaged ensemble measurements.

Breathing dissipative solitons in mode-locked fiber lasers

TL;DR: Breathers introduce a new regime of mode locking into ultrafast lasers and may contribute to the design of advanced laser sources and open up new possibilities of generating breathers in various dissipative systems.
