“…Tang et al proposed that in the anomalous dispersion regime the formation of the multiple solitons was caused by the peakpower-clamping effect of the laser cavity [13]. Komarov et al [14] and Haboucha et al [15] theoretically showed that in the normal dispersion regime additional spectrally selective losses or spectral gain filtering were necessary to achieve the multiple pulsing formation in a fiber laser passively mode-locked through the NPR technique. Weill et al studied the multipulse formation in the framework of the statistical light-mode dynamics theory [16].…”

“…None of them have managed to show in what physical ways the DSR is generated instead of the multipulsing in the cavity. The role of spectral balance on the single pusle stability has been recognized by researches [14], [15]. Liu showed that temporal and spectral balances plays the key roles on the pulse evolution in large net-normal-dispersion and high nonlinearity fiber mode-locked laser [30].…”

Numerical simulations on dissipative-solitonresonance generation in an all-normal-dispersion fiber ring laser are presented. Situations with monotonic and periodical saturable absorption are both considered. The multipulse operation in dissipative soliton laser is found to be caused by the spectral filtering effect that limits the spectral maximum width. And the multipulsing can be fully circumvent by inducing strong peak-power-clamping effect of a sinusoidal saturable absorber in the cavity. When the cavity peak-power-clamping effect is strong enough that the pulse peak-power and the pulse spectral width are both confined at a low value, the spectral filtering effect induced multipulse operation is prevented and the dissipative-soiton-resonance is generated. Otherwise, the spectral filtering effect causes pulse breaking before the pulse peak power reaches the saturation point. Further results show that under the dissipative-soliton-resonance, the generated pulse peak power can be directly controlled by the cavity peak-power-clamping effect, which is determined by the saturation power of the saturable absorber.

“…28 What was interesting was that in our experiment, it showed the same consequence in enormous normal dispersion fiber cavity qualitatively. From the view of Haboucha, 29 the multiple pulse formation in the normal dispersion regime of passively mode-locked fiber ring lasers was caused by the influence of the spectral filtering effect in the cavity. It was shown numerically that the number of pulses increases as the filter bandwidth decreases.…”

Abstract. We have demonstrated the dissipative solitons generated in an ytterbium-doped fiber laser cavity using graphene oxide as the saturable absorber. The lasing light, centered at 1077.2 nm, has a 3 dB spectral bandwidth of ∼1.12 nm. Under different launched pump powers and appropriate polarization orientations, harmonic mode-locked of second-and third-order pulse trains have been achieved; the corresponding 3-dB bandwidth and pulse duration have been detected. © The Authors.

“…They can operate with a single pulse in the laser cavity or in a multiple pulse regime, and demonstrate various types of bistability and multistability, including the threshold selfstart of passive mode locking, the multihysteresis dependence of the number of pulses in the laser cavity on the pump power, and so on [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
