“…In a previous paper the authors have demonstrated the dissipative soliton operation of a diode pumped Yb:CYA laser operating in the normal cavity dispersion regime, where distinctive dissipative soliton features manifest. 6 We note that the formation of dissipative solitons is not limited to lasers with positive cavity dispersion. They can also be formed in lasers with net anomalous cavity dispersion.…”

The authors report on the dissipative soliton operation of a diode pumped Yb 3þ :Sc 2 SiO 5 (Yb:SSO) laser in the vicinity of the zero group velocity dispersion (GVD). It is found that the soliton shaping in the laser is dominated by the third-order dispersion (TOD) of the cavity as reflected by the appearance of an asymmetrical spectral sideband in the soliton spectrum. Soliton pulses as short as 93 fs have been obtained in the laser. The authors show that the shortest soliton pulse achievable in the laser is limited by the cavity induced soliton instability, rather than the Kelly spectral sideband formation.

“…The additional balance of gain and loss results in solutions which are fixed (but not a family of solution) in parameter space [14]. Unlike bright Kerr solitons, the DSs are found both in anomalous dispersion (AD) [15], [16] and normal dispersion (ND) regime [17], [18]. The spectral characteristics of DS differ significantly in ND, where we observe a flat top spectra [19].…”

Abstract-The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equation is in general not integrable by the inverse scattering method and support solitary-wave solution, called dissipative soliton (DS). We numerically demonstrate that, a DS can radiate dispersive waves (DWs) in presence of third-order dispersion (TOD). We propose a silicon-based active waveguide that excites stable DSs. Energy can be transferred from these stable DS to linear DWs when a resonance condition is achieved. The dynamics of the DS is governed by the complex GL equation which we solve numerically for different operational parameters. Numerical solution of the perturbed GL equation exhibits multiple radiations, when the stable DS is allowed to propagate through a large distance. We theoretically derive a special phase-matching relation that can predict the frequencies of these multiple radiations, which are found numerically. In our theoretical and numerical calculations we include the role of free carriers which appear inside semiconductor waveguides as a consequence of two-photon absorption (TPA). We demonstrate that apart from TOD, TPA and gain dispersion are two additional parameters that can control the radiation emitted by DS. The DS-mediated radiation is different in nature and demands an intuitive understanding. In this work we try to provide some insights of this fascinating radiation phenomenon by elaborate analytical and numerical calculations.

“…The first femtosecond Yb:CYA oscillator was reported in 2011, producing laser pulses of 156 fs with an average output power of 740 mW [16]. Dissipative soliton operation of a Yb:CYA laser was also reported with 7.4 ps uncompressed pulses and 340 fs compressed ones [17]. Due to the broad and flat emission spectrum, Pirzio et al demonstrated a sub-50 fs widely tunable Yb:CYA laser with shortest pulse duration of 43 fs and a wavelength tunability of 40 nm [18].…”

Diode-pumped power scalable Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:CYA laser

Stable 68 fs pulses with the average power of 1.5 W is directly generated from a multimode diode-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:CYA laser by separating the gain medium and Kerr medium. The repetition rate is about 50 MHz, resulting in a single pulse energy of 30 nJ and a peak power of 0.44 MW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest single pulse energy ever produced from a mode-locked Yb:CYA oscillator. Our experimental results show that Yb:CYA crystal is an excellent candidate for multiwatt, sub-100 fs pulse generation in diode-pumped all-solid-state lasers. It is believed that the output power can be scalable to multi-W while the pulse duration is maintained with this simple method.
