“…Since the discovery of the DSR regime, much effort has focused on the characteristics and applications of it. The DSR regime has been realized in various mode locking techniques and laser gain materials [1,[4][5][6][7]. In 2016, Li et al demonstrated the detailed compression evolution of DSR pulses.…”

We report on a wavelength and duration tunable mode-locked Yb-doped fibre laser operating in a dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) regime at a sub-megahertz repetition rate. The DSR regime has the advantage of avoiding pulse splitting. Hence, it is suitable for obtaining a high output pulse energy. In the experiment, by extending the cavity length to 219.36 meters, a DSR pulse output with a repetition rate of 923 kHz is achieved. For the case of the DSR operating at 1032 nm, the maximum single-pulse energy is 113 nJ. The output pulse duration can be changed from 389 ps to 1.25 ns by controlling the pump power. A wavelength-tuned range of 73 nm (1007-1080 nm) is further realized by adjusting the intra-cavity spectral filter.

Mid‐infrared (mid‐IR) ultrafast lasers are widely employed in biomedicine, molecular spectroscopy, material processing, and nonlinear optics. With the improvement of fiber gain media and other fiber optical elements, low‐cost, compact, and high‐efficiency fiber lasers open up new opportunities for 2–4 µm pulse generations, which calls for a comprehensive review of their mode‐locking mechanisms, gain media, and fiber laser system performance. This paper, beginning with an overview of pulse‐generation technologies, reviews recent progress on 2–4 µm mid‐IR ultrafast fiber lasers, including Tm3+‐, Ho3+‐doped, Tm3+/Ho3+ codoped silicate fiber 2 µm lasers, and Er3+‐, Dy3+‐doped, and Ho3+/Pr3+ codoped ZBLAN fiber 2.5–4 µm lasers. Among them, the status of 2–4 µm ultrafast fiber lasers based on 2D material passive mode‐locking is emphatically discussed. Meanwhile, the novel advances on mode‐locking and gain fibers of mid‐IR ultrafast fiber lasers are explored. Furthermore, current and prospective applications of such laser systems are also introduced in detail. This review finally summarizes challenges associated with future development of mid‐IR ultrafast fiber lasers, which provides an outlook on how to achieve more desirable laser performance (e.g., higher average power, higher pulse energy, and longer emission wavelength) that can lead to more practical uses of such lasers.
