Abstract
In a passively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser (PMLEDFL) based on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR), a dual-mode pulse complex (DMPC) is introduced to describe the symbiotic coexistence of dissipative soliton (DS) and noise-like pulse (NLP). The DMPCs exhibiting reversible temporal orderings or containing DS pairs are captured by using the dispersive Fourier transform (DFT) technique. Its physical mechanism is attributed to a delicate balance between repulsive and attractive forces among pulses, resulting from the complex interplay of significant nonlinear effects, dispersion, gain and loss. The experimental results are further verified by the numerical simulations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that DMPC consisting of DS and NLP has been analyzed in detail using DFT technique. This work will help to complement our understanding of multi-pulse dynamics and provide new insights into the dynamic phenomenon of nonlinear optical systems.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
