Research on dissipative soliton fiber lasers has gained wide interest because they use balance between nonlinear effects and dissipative elements to create ultrashort high-energy pulses. Dissipative soliton lasers operate through spectral filtering along with gain saturation in strong systems resulting in pulse formation that remains stable even with large normal dispersion present. The laser operation occurs in ANDi or net-normal-dispersion cavities thus nonlinear spectral broadening combines with dissipative process to stabilize the laser emission. The distinctive features of dissipative soliton fiber lasers enable them to become highly effective for ultrafast optics applications and frequency comb generation and material processing because they offer broad spectral bandwidth while producing large chirp with high energy levels. A compact dissipative soliton mode-locked pulse has been achieved with a repetition rate of 28.7 MHz. The optical spectrum exhibits a center wavelength of 1028 nm and a 3-dB bandwidth of 3.2 nm in normal net cavity
dispersion.
