“…Dissipative solitons are closely related to the high-energy pulses in the fiber lasers owing to its intrinsic feature. [256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266][267] As the development of the dissipative soliton research, an interesting pattern called dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) was reported. A DSR pulse is a complex of two interacting dissipative fronts.…”

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.

“…However, the conversion efficiency of TDFs is relatively low due to strong reabsorption in the 1.7 μm band, while the preparation technology of BDFs and THDFs are not mature. The other is through nonlinear optical effects in solid-core fibers, including SRS [ 11 , 12 ], self-phase modulation [ 13 , 14 ], soliton self-frequency shift [ 15 , 16 ], and four-wave mixing [ 17 , 18 ], but the output laser linewidth is often wide. For some applications such as gas detection, narrow linewidth laser beams are needed to accurately distinguish the gas absorption lines, and a longer coherence length is also conducive to long-distance detection.…”

Fiber lasers that operate at 1.7 μm have important applications in many fields, such as biological imaging, medical treatment, etc. Fiber gas Raman lasers (FGRLs) based on gas stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) provide an elegant way to realize efficient 1.7 μm fiber laser output. Here, we report the first all-fiber structure tunable pulsed 1.7 μm FGRLs by fusion splicing a hydrogen-filled HC-PCF with solid-core fibers. Pumping with a homemade tunable pulsed 1.5 μm fiber amplifier, efficient 1693~1705 nm Stokes waves are obtained by hydrogen molecules via SRS. The maximum average output Stokes power is 1.63 W with an inside optical–optical conversion efficiency of 58%. This work improves the compactness and stability of 1.7 μm FGRLs, which is of great significance to their applications.

“…One is based on population inversion to generate 1.7 µm pulsed lasers by using rare-earth-doped fibers, such as thulium-doped fibers [6,7,10,11], thuliumholmium-codoped fibers [12,13], and bismuth-doped fibers [14][15][16]. The other is based on nonlinear effects in solid-core fibers to realize a frequency conversion, such as soliton self-frequency shift [17][18][19][20], four-wave mixing [21][22][23], self-phase modulation [7,24,25], and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) [26]. Recently, fiber gas Raman lasers (FGRLs) based on hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) have opened a new opportunity for 1.7 µm pulsed fiber lasers [27][28][29][30].…”

A 1.7 μm pulsed laser plays an important role in bioimaging, gas detection, and so on. Fiber gas Raman lasers (FGRLs) based on hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) provide a novel and effective method for fiber lasers operating at 1.7 μm. Compared with traditional methods, FGRLs have more advantages in generating high-power 1.7 μm pulsed lasers. This paper reviews the studies of 1.7 μm FGRLs, briefly describes the principle and characteristics of HC-PCFs and gas-stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and systematical characterizes 1.7 μm FGRLs in aspects of output spectral coverage, power-limiting factors, and a theoretical model. When the fiber length and pump power are constant, a relatively high gas pressure and appropriate pump peak power are the key to achieving high-power 1.7 μm Raman output. Furthermore, the development direction of 1.7 μm FGRLs is also explored.
