Spatiotemporal mode-locking (STML) has been a hot topic since 2017 (Science 358, 94–97 (2017)). However, comprehension and control of spatiotemporal dissipative solitons (STDSs) and STML in multi-mode ...
Multimode (MM) optical fibres are common, and even predate single-mode fibres (SMF). However, the high bandwidth and structural simplicity of SMF caused interest in multimode systems to wane by the ...
a, Schematic diagram of dissipative soliton formation in SMF lasers and MMF lasers. b, An illustration of a typical STML MMF laser layout. c, Pulse reactions for three mechanisms as intermode ...
