As a special type of 3D solitons, 3D breathers possess abundant evolutionary characteristics, yet the mode‐resolved dynamics remain unexplored. Here, two distinct types of 3D breathers are experimentally realized in an STML fiber laser, and the real‐time dynamical evolution of individual transverse modes is captured via mode‐resolved measurement. The two breathers exhibit markedly different energy exchange mechanisms: one involves energy exchange among transverse modes (asynchronous transverse modal energy evolution), while the other features energy exchange among spectral components (asynchronous energy evolution of spectral components). Due to energy exchange among spectral components and bandwidth disparities among spectral peaks, energy modulation depth is remarkably lower than spectral intensity modulation depth. Numerical simulations qualitatively reproduce both experimentally observed 3D breathers. Linear mode coupling (LMC) dominates synchronous transverse modal energy evolution, while asynchronous transverse modal energy evolution relies on both LMC and propagation effects (including intermodal gain competition and nonlinear effects such as intermodal four‐wave mixing) in Yb‐doped fiber. This work reveals individual modal dynamics and their complex interactions during 3D soliton breathing, deepening understanding of intricate spatiotemporal dynamics in STML fiber lasers.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149208460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it remains hindered by severe twin‐image artifacts due to the absence of sensor‐plane phase information. Iterative approaches are sensitive to noise and prone to local minima, while existing learning‐based approaches rarely exploit sensor‐plane phase as a physically meaningful initialization and insufficiently integrate diffraction physics with complex‐domain learning. Here, we propose a dual‐plane‐driven complex‐valued cascaded neural network (DP‐CVNN) for phase retrieval in inline holography. The framework combines a front‐end real‐valued network for sensor‐plane phase estimation with a back‐end complex‐valued neural network for diffraction propagation learning, thereby enabling physically meaningful reconstruction from single‐shot inline holograms. By jointly constraining sensor‐plane and object‐plane phases through diffraction‐consistent supervision, the proposed framework effectively bridges data‐driven holographic reconstruction with physics‐consistent optical modeling in the complex domain, thereby reducing sensitivity to noise‐contaminated intensity measurements. Simulations and experiments on diverse phase‐dominant samples demonstrate effective suppression of twin‐image artifacts, achieving favorable reconstruction fidelity and noise robustness compared with representative conventional and learning‐based methods. Our findings further validate the critical role of sensor‐plane phase initialization, as well as its potential to benefit conventional phase retrieval algorithms.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149208465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While Bayesian inference has proven powerful for constraining general relativity and curvature-based modifications, such analyses in symmetric teleparallel <i>f</i>(<i>Q</i>) gravity remain computationally expensive due to the repeated solution of modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations.
