Nonlinear propagation of signals in single-mode fiber is well understood, and is typically observed by measuring the temporal profile or optical spectrum of an emerging signal. In multimode fibers, the nonlinearity has both a spatial and a…

In a laser, the control of its spectral emission depends on the physical dimensions of the optical resonator, limiting it to a set of discrete cavity modes at specific frequencies. Here, we overcome this fundamental limit by demonstrating a…

Soliton explosions are among the most exotic dissipative phenomena studied in mode-locked lasers. In this regime, a dissipative soliton circulating in the laser cavity experiences an abrupt structural collapse, but within a few roundtrips…
