Article Synopsis
  • The Mamyshev oscillator (MO) is highlighted as an effective tool for generating powerful pulses, but there is limited research on how it transitions from seed signal to pulse output, especially in multi-pulse scenarios.
  • This study examines how the competition between injected seed pulses affects the necessary pump power and optical gain for producing multiple oscillator pulses.
  • Techniques like dispersive Fourier transform (DFT) are used to observe real-time changes during pulse formation, and experiments aim to minimize gain competition for more streamlined operations.

Soliton buildup dynamics in ultrafast fiber lasers are one of the most significant topics in both the fundamental and industrial fields. In this work, by using the dispersive Fourier transformation technique, the real-time spectral evolution of soliton buildup dynamics were investigated in the all-polarization-maintaining Yb-doped fiber laser, which is mode-locked by nonlinear polarization evolution technique through the cross splicing method. It was experimentally confirmed that the same stable soliton state could be achieved through different soliton starting processes because of the initial random noises.
