Broadband Dispersion-Managed Dissipative Soliton and Structural Soliton Molecules in a Slight-Normal Dispersion Fiber Laser

We report on the generation of dispersion-managed dissipative soliton and various structural soliton molecules from a slight-normal dispersion fiber laser. The laser was capable of generating 56.5 nm broad dissipative solitons with quasi-rectangular spectral profile. Furthermore, the broadest top-fl...

description We report on the generation of dispersion-managed dissipative soliton and various structural soliton molecules from a slight-normal dispersion fiber laser. The laser was capable of generating 56.5 nm broad dissipative solitons with quasi-rectangular spectral profile. Furthermore, the broadest top-flat spectrum with up to 71.4 nm bandwidth was achieved in the noise-like pulse regime, operating in the 1542-1613.4 nm. More importantly, by manipulating the laser cavity parameters, various types of soliton molecules, including conventional and unusual structural soliton molecules, were observed in fiber laser. The soliton molecules exhibit different features in autocorrelation traces, which are found to be related to soliton number, soliton intensity and soliton separation within the soliton molecules. The results contribute to enriching the soliton dynamics in the fiber lasers in the slight-normal dispersion regime.
