AI Article Synopsis
- Multimode solitons are created in step-index fibers, where nonlinearity balances out both chromatic and modal dispersion.
- These solitons experience a Raman self-frequency shift, leading to a gradual energy transfer to the fundamental mode of the fiber.
- The dynamics of these multimode solitons in step-index fibers are compared to those in graded index fibers, showing strong alignment with numerical predictions.
Article Abstract
We experimentally generate multimode solitons in step-index fibers, where nonlinearity compensates for both chromatic and modal dispersion. These solitons are subject to Raman self-frequency shift, and their energy is gradually transfered to the fundamental fiber mode. We compare multimode soliton dynamics in both step-index and graded index fibers, in excellent agreement with numerical predictions.

Quantum-limited timing jitter of soliton microcombs has long been recognized as their fundamental noise limit. Here, we surpass such limit by utilizing dispersive wave dynamics in multimode microresonators. Through the viscous force provided by these dispersive waves, the quantum-limited timing jitter can be suppressed to a much lower level that forms the ultimate fundamental noise limit of soliton microcombs.

In this work, spatiotemporal dual-periodic soliton pulsation (SDSP) is firstly observed in an STML fiber laser. It is found that in the SDSP, the long-period pulsations (LPPs) of different transverse modes are synchronous, while the short-period pulsations (SPPs) exhibit asynchronous modulations.

The SA consists of two centrally aligned graded index multimode fiber (GIMF) with different diameters (105-50 µm) and features a widely adjustable transmission with saturable/reverse-saturable absorption. Based on this, dissipative soliton (DS), Q-switched rectangular pulse (QRP), dissipative soliton resonance (DSR), noise-like pulse (NLP) and bright-dark pulse pairs (BDP) are observed at three dispersions without additional filter.

Nevertheless, challenges endure regarding stability, single resonant mode tracking, and real-time monitoring. Here, we demonstrate a temperature measurement approach based on convolutional neural network (CNN), leveraging the recognition of multimode barcode images acquired from a WGM microbottle resonator (MBR) sensor with robust packaged microresonator-taper coupling structure (packaged-MTCS).

Optical pulses traveling through multimode optical fibers encounter the influence of both linear disturbances and nonlinearity, resulting in a complex and chaotic redistribution of power among different modes. In our research, we explore the phenomenon where multimode fibers reach stable states marked by the concentration of energy into both single and multiple sub-systems. We introduce a weighted Bose-Einstein law, demonstrating its suitability in describing thermalized modal power distributions in the nonlinear regime, as well as steady-state distributions in the linear regime.
