“…The noise properties of bound-pulse mode-locked lasers have also been less investigated, but remain of particular research interest. Some preliminary experimental results have been reported in our early work [26]. Due to the more complicated pulse shape of the bound-pulses, analytic soliton perturbation theory is no longer applicable.…”

“…As a real example, we investigate an environmentally stable 10 GHz hybrid mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser with active phase modulation. The laser is experimentally built with the interesting property that its mode-locking state can transmit from the single-soliton to the bound-soliton mode-locking state by simply increasing pump power [25,26]. The RIN noises of the laser are experimentally measured under both the bound-and single-soliton states for comparison.…”

Relative intensity noises (RIN) of mode-locked lasers are properties which are crucial for applications. In the literature, there have been plenty of theoretical/experimental studies on the RIN noises of passive/active single-pulse mode-locked lasers. Since some mode-locked lasers can also be operated under the bound-pulse mode-locking state, it is thus very interesting to further examine the RIN properties under bound-pulse mode-locking, and to verify if there are possibilities for RIN noise reduction as predicted by some previous theoretical works. The conventional analytical formula based on the soliton perturbation theory can no longer be applied due to the pulse shape complexity for the bound-pulse mode-locking cases. New theoretical tools for modelling general mode-locked lasers are eagerly awaited. In the present work, the RIN noises of an environmentally stable 10 GHz hybrid mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser capable of bound-soliton generation are experimentally investigated, and a novel theoretical method based on the linearized backpropagation approach is theoretically developed for calculating the RIN noise spectra of general mode-locked lasers. Both the theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the RIN noise of the bound-soliton state can be lower than that of the single-soliton state by following the laser power scaling tendency.

Solitons are stable localized wave packets that can propagate long distance in dispersive media without changing their shapes. As particle-like nonlinear localized waves, solitons have been investigated in different physical systems. Owing to potential applications in optical communication and optical signal processing systems, optical solitons have attracted intense interest in the past three decades. To experimentally study the formation and dynamics of temporal optical solitons, fiber lasers are considered as a wonderful nonlinear system. During the last decade, several kinds of theoretically predicted solitons were observed experimentally in fiber lasers. In this review, we present a detailed overview of the experimentally verified optical solitons in fiber lasers, including bright solitons, dark solitons, vector solitons, dissipative solitons, dispersion-managed solitons, polarization domain wall solitons, and so on. An outlook for the development on the solitons in fiber lasers is also provided and discussed.
