Mode-locked lasers have enabled some of the most precise measurements ever performed,
from attosecond time-domain spectroscopy to metrology with frequency combs. However …

Short-pulse fibre lasers are a complex dynamical system possessing a broad space of
operating states that can be accessed through control of cavity parameters. Determination of …

We report a novel and intriguing nonlinear dynamics observed in a fiber laser cavity, in
which soliton pulses are created from an extended noisy background and drift until they …

We study the starting dynamics of an all-normal-dispersion Yb-doped fiber laser
experimentally and compare them to an existing stochastic model of starting from quantum …

Coherent mode-locking (CML) uses self-induced transparency (SIT) soliton formation to
achieve, in contrast to conventional schemes based on absorption saturation, the pulse …

We present an improved design of a nonlinear amplifier loop mirror (NALM) mode-locked Er-
fiber laser system with fiber amplifier and compressor contained in all polarization …

Self-organization of temporal modes in mode-locked lasers usually starts from quantum
noise. In this process, incoherent spontaneous emission is steered into coherent ultrashort …

We study the multipulse formation in passive mode locking in the framework of the statistical
light-mode dynamics theory. It is a many-body theory that treats the complex many-mode …

We report an experimental characterization on harmonic mode-locking in a Tm-doped fiber
laser, which exhibits pump related timing jitter and ultralong mode-locking starting dynamics …

Multi-soliton operation is a universal phenomenon in mode-locked lasers, which is generally
considered to be generated from pulse splitting or pulse shaping of dispersive waves. Here …
