Reconfigurable dynamics of optical soliton molecular complexes in an ultrafast thulium fiber laser

Dissipative optical solitons can exhibit bound states with exciting molecule-like interactions. This work demonstrates the reconfigurable switching of soliton molecular complexes beyond diatomic molecules in an ultrafast laser system, which provides novel perspectives in understanding soliton intera...

description Dissipative optical solitons can exhibit bound states with exciting molecule-like interactions. This work demonstrates the reconfigurable switching of soliton molecular complexes beyond diatomic molecules in an ultrafast laser system, which provides novel perspectives in understanding soliton interactions and triggers potential applications in ultrafast science.
