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.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), whose monolayer possesses a direct band gap, displays promising applications in optoelectronics, photonics, and lasers. Recent researches have demonstrated that MoS2 has not only a significant broadband saturable absorption performance, but also a higher optical nonlinear response than graphene. However, MoS2 shows much lower optical damage threshold owing to the poorer thermal conductivity and mechanical property. Here, we exploit a MoS2-clad microfibre (MCM) as the saturable absorber (SA) for the generation of ultrashort pulses under different dispersion conditions. The improved evanescent field interaction scheme can overcome the laser-induced thermal damage, as well as take full advantage of the strong nonlinear effect of MoS2. With the MCM SA, conventional, dispersion-managed, and dissipative solitons are generated around 1600 nm in Er-doped fibre lasers with anomalous, near-zero, and normal cavity dispersions, respectively. Our work paves the way for applications of 2D layered materials in photonics, especially in laser sources.

“…Besides the anomalous GVD, the dispersion with the normal sign may also support dissipative solitons [40]. The all-normal GVD has been used for the trapping of dissipative solitons in fiber laser [41], as well as for the generation of dissipative vector solitons in a dispersion-managed fiber laser [42]. Insertion of chirped fiber Bragg grating generates net normal cavity GVD in the all-anomalous-dispersion fiber.…”

We address the generation and interaction of dispersion-managed dissipative solitons (DMDSs) in a model of fiber lasers with the cubic-quintic nonlinearity, multiphoton absorption and gain dispersion. Both anomalous and normal segments of the dispersion map include random dispersion fluctuations. Effects of the gain dispersion, higher-order nonlinearity and randomness on the generation of DMDS are demonstrated. The solitons exhibit breather-like evolution, and are found to be robust, up to a certain critical level of the random-dispersion component, which is sufficiently high. The roles of multiphoton absorption, gain dispersion and nonlinearity on the DMDS are also identified in the absence of randomness. Pair wise interactions of solitons lead, most typically, to their merger, with breaking of the left-right symmetry. The outcome of the collisions is more sensitive to the initial temporal separation between the solitons than to their phase difference.
