The need to measure high repetition rate ultrafast processes cuts across multiple areas of
science. The last decade has seen tremendous advances in the development and …

Laser cavity-solitons can appear in a microresonator-filtered laser when judiciously
balancing the slow nonlinearities of the system. Under certain conditions, such optical states …

Soliton molecules (SMs) are fundamentally important modes in nonlinear optical systems. It
is a challenge to experimentally produce SMs with the required temporal separation (TS) in …

Gyroscopes merit an undeniable role in inertial navigation systems, geodesy and
seismology. By employing the optical Sagnac effect, ring laser gyroscopes provide …

The bidirectional mode-locked oscillator is an emerging light source architecture suitable for
dual-comb applications. Therein, bidirectional mode-locked fiber lasers (MLFLs) are …

Soliton explosions, among the most exotic dynamics, have been extensively studied on
parameter invariant stationary solitons. However, the explosion dynamics are still largely …

Breathing optical solitons propagating in a dissipative nonlinear system can interact and
bind stably, forming an optical soliton molecule that presents striking molecule‐like …

A novel optical soliton dynamics phenomenon, called “invisible” pulsation, has gradually
attracted extensive interest in recent years, which can only be identified effectively with the …

Bidirectional ultrafast fiber lasers present an attractive solution, enabling the generation of
two mutually coherent ultrashort pulse trains in a simple and turnkey system. Still, the lack of …

Dispersive Fourier transform is a characterization technique that allows directly extracting an
optical spectrum from a time domain signal, thus providing access to real-time …
