Extreme Pulse Dynamics in Mode-Locked Lasers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied dissipative solitons that produce sharp peaks (spikes) on top of its high amplitude central part and found that the peak amplitude of these spikes can exceed several times the amplitude of the soliton base.

All-fiber hybridly mode-locked similariton ring laser for frequency metrology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the generation of stable 127 fs self-similar pulses at a central wavelength of 1560 nm with 7.14 mW average output power, with low repetition rate deviation in the averaging time interval 1−1·103 s, a low relative intensity noise −125 dBc/Hz, a narrow single comb line width of 32 kHz, and high reliability.

Supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of numerical and experimental studies of supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber is presented over the full range of experimentally reported parameters, from the femtosecond to the continuous-wave regime.

Endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber.

TL;DR: An effective-index model confirms that an all-silica optical fiber made by embedding a central core in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a micrometer-spaced hexagonal array of air holes can be single mode for any wavelength.

Visible continuum generation in air–silica microstructure optical fibers with anomalous dispersion at 800 nm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate experimentally that air-silica microstructure optical fibers can exhibit anomalous dispersion at visible wavelengths, and exploit this feature to generate an optical continuum 550 THz in width, extending from the violet to the infrared.

77-fs pulse generation from a stretched-pulse mode-locked all-fiber ring laser

TL;DR: By incorporating a section of large positive-dispersion fiber in an all-fiber erbium ring laser, a fully self-starting source of 77-fs pulse with 90 pJ of energy and greater than 1 kW of peak power at a 45-MHz repetition rate is obtained.
