“…This scheme, termed Filter-Driven Four-Wave-Mixing (FD-FWM), is an advancement inspired by dissipative FWM (DFWM) [100][101][102] where the nonlinear interaction occurs in-fibre and is then "filtered" separately by a linear FP filter. This new approach is more efficient and so allows for substantially reduced main cavity lengths that lead in turn to highly stable operation -something that has so far eluded DFWM lasers.…”

“…It has been theoretically shown that both bright and dark solitons are solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) [11], and can be supported in a fiber transmission line with dispersion management [12]. Quiroga-Teixeiro et al [13] theoretically investigated and predicted the formation of a dark soliton in a mode-locked fiber laser by dissipative four-wave mixing.…”

Abstract:We report on the generation of orthogonally polarized bright-dark pulse pair in a passively mode-locked fiber laser with a large-angle tilted fiber grating (LA-TFG). The unique polarization properties of the LA-TFG, i.e. polarization-dependent loss and polarization-mode splitting, enable dual-wavelength mode-locking operation. Besides dual-wavelength bright pulses with uniform polarization at two different wavelengths, the bright-dark pulse pair has also been achieved. It is found that the bright-dark pulse pair is formed due to the nonlinear couplings between lights with two orthogonal polarizations and two different wavelengths. Furthermore, harmonic mode-locking of bright-dark pulse pair has been observed. The obtained bright-dark pulse pair could find potential use in secure communication system. It also paves the way to manipulate the generation of dark pulse in terms of wavelength and polarization, using specially designed fiber grating for mode-locking.

“…Moreover, it is well known that self-pulsations and mode-locking may occur in ring fiber lasers via the mechanism of dissipative four-wave mixing [8], independently of the presence (or lack thereof) of modulation instability [9]. Therefore, for a proper interpretation of the experimental results of Ref.…”

a b s t r a c tA recent invited paper (Tang et al., 2014) reports the experimental observation of the generation of stable pulse trains in a ring fiber laser with repetition rates varying in the range between 3 GHz and 285 GHz. Contrary to what is stated, the theory published in that invited paper does not support the claim that the generation mechanism of the pulse train is the cavity induced modulation instability effect.
