Coherent and Incoherent Breathing Solitons in a Bidirectional Ultrafast Thulium Fiber Laser
Mode-locked lasers are prone to exhibit a wide range of dynamics, including the coherent dissipative soliton with high robustness or the possible emission of incoherent pulse bursts. Herein, it is proposed to expand the notion of dissipative breathing solitons to incoherent localized formation, which is illustrated experimentally by reporting original coherent and incoherent breathing solitons generated in a 2 μm bidirectional ultrafast fiber laser. A real-time spectral characterization of the breathing soliton dynamics with different coherence is provided, highlighting salient features of the self-organization. The switching between coherent breathing soliton and noise-like pulse is also experimentally demonstrated, corresponding to the multiple transient decoherence and coherence recovery. High behavior similarity exists in bidirectional solitons evolution owing to the common gain and loss modulation. Numerical simulations using a discrete laser model validate the experimental findings. This research generalizes previous observations of breathing solitons made in the coherent case and opens up new possibilities for generating breathers in various dissipative systems.
