“…The generation of the rogue-like wave in DOF can be controlled by adjusting the modulation period and the temporal separation between the peak of the initial pulses. Mode-locked lasers can demonstrate generation packets of closely spaced pulses [46][47][48][49]. Soliton fusion can be used for converting pulse packets into new pulses with increased peak power.…”

Optical soliton processing techniques are expected to play a major role in future ultrafast optical transmision lines, optical computing, and the synthesis of new powerful soliton lasers. We propose the use of a dispersion oscillation fiber as a new versalite tool to control soliton eigenvalues. Using a fiber with sine-wave variation of the core diameter along the longitudinal direction, we can change both the real and imaginary parts of soliton eigenvalues. Changing the real part of the eigenvalues results in a splitting of an optical breather into two distinct pulses propagating with the different group velocities. Changing the imaginary parts of the eigenvalues allows for the realization of a reverse process of merging two solitons into a high-intensity pulse. The generation of high-intensity pulses occurs through inelastic soliton collisions. The splitting of the optical breather and the merging of solitons can be obtained even under the strong effect of stimulated Raman scattering. We believe the tools and techniques based on the use of a dispersion oscillating fiber will grant unprecedented control over soliton eigenstates.

“…Then, an HRR pulse train is finally formed with a repetition rate defined by the free spectral range (FSR) of the comb filter. During the past decades, various schemes based on DFWM have been reported, such as sampled fiber Bragg grating [ 18 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], F-P filters [ 23 , 24 ], Mach–Zehnder interferometers [ 25 , 26 ], Lyot filters [ 27 , 28 ], programmable optical processors [ 29 , 30 ], and microring resonators [ 31 , 32 ]. In particular, J. Schröder et al experimentally obtained up to a 20 nm wavelength tunability by incorporating a programmable optical processor in the cavity [ 29 ].…”

A wavelength-tunable high repetition rate (HRR) erbium-doped fiber laser in L-band based on dissipative four-wave mixing (DFWM) mechanism is demonstrated. The cavity can generate a single-soliton train and bound-soliton train with a fixed repetition rate of ~126 GHz, which is determined by the free spectral range of the intra-cavity Lyot filter. A wide wavelength-tuning operation can also be obtained by rotating the polarization controllers. The wavelength-tuning ranges of the HRR single-soliton state and HRR bound-soliton state are ~38.3 nm and ~22.6 nm, respectively. This laser provides useful references for the area of a wavelength-tunable fiber laser with high repetition rate. The laser may also find useful applications in high-speed communication, sensing, etc.

“…In 2001, Coen and Haeltermann used a CW pump for the same observation [11]. Ring cavities are promising for producing pulse trains with rates exceeding 500 GHz [12]. More recently, numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of microring resonators for producing frequency combs [13,14].…”

We show that tunable frequency combs can be generated by launching two continuous-wave pumps at slightly different wavelengths into a normally dispersive optical fiber. The dual-pump configuration allows the tuning of comb spacing into the terahertz regime. Different pump powers and frequency separations are explored numerically to determine the effect of the input parameters on frequency comb generation. The relative power of the two pumps is found to be a critical factor through its crucial effect on optical wave breaking. The pump powers and fiber length are shown to have a significant effect on the comb width as well. Unlike in the case of supercontinuum generation, Raman scattering is found to have a negligible or even a slightly detrimental effect. Our findings also help bridge the gap between work done on the propagation of a single pulse and the evolution of dual-pump signals in normally dispersive highly nonlinear fibers.
