An integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar for CH leakage monitoring is proposed and demonstrated. In the simplified all-fiber optical layout, a homemade InGaAs/InP single-photon detector (SPD) using multi-channel technique with multi-mode fiber coupling is used to increase the maximum count rate and coupling efficiency. The system is calibrated in intensity and frequency domains.

The training and testing are based on two typical nonlinear dynamics: the conventional soliton evolution from various saturation energies and soliton molecule evolution under different group velocity dispersion coefficients of optical fibers. In both cases, the root mean square error (RMSE) for 80% of the test samples is below 15%.

In this article, we report an ultrashort pulse fiber laser based on VSe/GO nanocomposite and verify the formation process of soliton and soliton molecules by the numerical simulation. The prepared VSe/GO-based device shows excellent saturable absorption characteristics with a modulation depth of 14.
