“…The choice of this fiber has been motivated by the design scaling rules proposed in [22] taking into account the 7.5 ps initial pulse duration. Note that taking advantage of a multiple segment architecture such as proposed in [37], a combination of highly nonlinear fibers and highly dispersive normal fibers could also have been used to lower the power level involved in the device.…”

In this paper, we report all-optical regeneration of the state of polarization of a 40-Gbit/s return-to-zero telecommunication signal as well as its temporal intensity profile and average power thanks to an easy-to-implement, all-fibered device. In particular, we experimentally demonstrate that it is possible to obtain simultaneously polarization stabilization and intensity profile regeneration of a degraded light beam thanks to the combined effects of counterpropagating four-wave mixing, self-phase modulation and normal chromatic dispersion taking place in a single segment of optical fiber. All-optical regeneration is confirmed by means of polarization and bit-error-rate measurements as well as real-time observation of the 40 Gbit/s telecommunication signal.

“…However, researchers in the laser field did not take notice of the Mamyshev regenerator at the time. In 2008, researchers began to explore concatenated Mamyshev regenerators, [41] but only noticed their application as the regenerator [42][43][44][45][46][47] and reshaper [48] in signal transmission. [49,50] Even though a 2009 study reported the successful generation of pulses through cascaded Mamyshev regenerators, [44] it was not until 2018, when a Cornell research group achieved 3 MW peak power using a MO, that the system began to draw widespread attention in the laser field.…”

Mamyshev oscillators (MOs) have attracted significant attention given their potential in yielding ultrafast lasers with high peak power. Based on step‐like saturable absorbers and self‐similar evolution in the gain fiber, MO technology features an advanced system capable of generating ultrastable femtosecond pulses with ultrahigh peak power. In this review, the principle of MO is presented in terms of their transmission function and tolerance to nonlinear phase shift and recent progress is reported in the advanced output performance of MO, manifested through high peak power, few‐cycles, high repetition rate, and supercontinuum generation. MO with various operation wavelengths (1, 1.5, and 2 μm) are examined, and MO starting methods are fully discussed, followed by a detailed account of diverse potential applications in areas such as biomedical imaging and material processing. Based on current progress, the prospective challenges and future directions of MO are highlighted and discussed.

“…Recent extensions have also been proposed in order to process several wavelengths 23,24) or polarizations 25) simultaneously, in order to gain some flexibility on the choice of the nonlinear fibers that are used 26) or in order to optimize the incoming pulse shape 27) . Similarly to the nonlinear amplifying loop mirror 28) that is an evolution of a NOLM, another potential improvement that has been suggested to MRs is to combine physical amplification with nonlinear propagation 29) .…”
