Self-similar fiber oscillators are a relatively new class of mode-locked lasers. In these lasers,
the self-similar evolution of a chirped parabolic pulse in normally-dispersive passive, active …

Optical solitons generated from fiber lasers have been extensively investigated for their
good stability, narrow pulse width and high peak power, which play an indispensable role in …

We demonstrated an all-normal-dispersion Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser based on
Bi_2Se_3 topological insulator (TI). Different from previous TI-mode-locked fiber lasers in …

While the recent discovered new mode-locking mechanism-dissipative soliton-has
successfully improved the pulse energy of 1 μm and 1.5 μm fiber lasers to tens of …

An ultrafast, passively mode-locked fiber laser oscillator has been realized using thulium-
doped ZBLAN fibers. Very low dispersion of ZBLAN glass fibers enabled generation of …

We propose and demonstrate the generation of 1.6 μm similaritons in all-fiber lasers with
two segments of different Er-doped fibers (EDFs), which can optimize the gain profile and …

Three kinds of pulse amplification techniques including chirped-pulse amplification (CPA),
parabolic pulse amplification, and divided-pulse amplification (DPA) based on rare-earth …

In this work, a Figure-9 (F9) bismuth-doped fiber laser (BiDFL) operating in the dissipative
soliton resonance (DSR) regime is presented. The 1338 nm laser used a BiDF as the active …

We report mode-locked~ 1550 nm output of transform-limited~ 180 fs pulses from a large
mode-area (diameter~ 50 μm) guided-wave erbium fluorozirconate glass laser. The …

We report on a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser featuring a large normal
dispersion and emitting high-energy dissipative solitons. Mode-locking is stabilized by the …
