On the Q-switching bunch dynamics in the build-up of stretched-pulse mode-locking
TL;DR: This paper experimentally investigates a rich set of Q-switching bunches in the build-up of stretched-pulse mode-locking of an erbium-doped fiber laser and records periodic pulse-to-p Pulse spectral evolution occurring in these turbulent and rapidly-evolving pre-mode-locking states.

All-normal dispersion fiber lasers with magneto-optical polarization controllers
TL;DR: An all-normal dispersion fiber laser mode-locked by nonlinear polarization evolution is presented in this paper and can operate continuously in mode-locking states over five hours with almost no variation in pulse profile, optical spectrum, and output power.

Femtosecond laser pulse generation with self-similar amplification of picosecond laser pulses.
Huanyu Song,Bowen Liu,Wei Chen,Yuan Li,Youjian Song,Sijia Wang,Lu Chai,Chingyue Wang,Minglie Hu +8 more
TL;DR: Systematic numerical simulations and experimental studies on self-similar amplification of picosecond pulses in a short gain fiber for obtaining ~100-fs laser pulses with nearly transform-limited (TL) temporal quality and it is demonstrated that self- similar amplification with picose Cond seed pulses is only sensitive to pulse duration and pulse energy.

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.
