These can form bound states, which are fundamentally crucial modes in fiber laser and present striking analogies with matter molecules counterparts, means they potential applications large-capacity transmission all-optical information storage. Although traditionally, second-order dispersion has dominant for conventional solitons, recent experimental theoretical shown that pure-high-even-order (PHEOD) energy-width scaling arise from interaction arbitrary negative-even-order Kerr nonlinearity. Despite these advancements, on states PHEOD is currently non-existent. In this study, we obtained a using an intra-cavity spectral pulse shaper high-order management. Specifically, experimentally demonstrate existence pure-quartic, -sextic, -octic, -decic dispersion. Numerical simulations corroborate observations.

In the present work, uniformly sized bismuthene quantum dots (BiQDs) with an average diameter of 26 nm were fabricated via solvothermal approach. By transferring BiQDs onto plane micro-machined D-shaped fiber (DSF), a new type saturable absorber (SA) was successfully prepared. Based on evanescent field effect fiber, prepared SA exhibits excellent absorption properties maximum modulation depth 5.1% at around 1.5 μm.

Although visible femtosecond lasers based on nonlinear frequency conversion of Ti:sapphire oscillators or near-infrared ultrafast have been well developed, limitations in terms footprint, cost, and efficiency called for alternative laser solutions. The fiber mode-locked oscillator as an ideal solution has achieved great success the 0.9 to 3.5 μm infrared wavelengths, but remains outstanding challenge spectrum (390 780 nm). Here, we tackle this by introducing a visible-wavelength along with amplifier.

Visible self-starting locking established PB-NALM directly yields pulses minimum pulse duration 196 fs repetition rate 53.957 MHz from oscillator. Precise control grating spacing can switch state dissipative soliton stretched-pulse conventional soliton. In addition, chirped-pulse amplification system built alongside immensely boosts performance, resulting average output power over 1 W, energy 19.55 nJ, dechirped 230 fs.
