Fiber lasers are a class of lasers, where the active medium being used is a fiber, typically, doped with a rare earth materials like Erbium, ytterbium, thulium etc., Owing to its compact footprint, robust construction, excellent heat dissipation and superior beam quality such lasers find interest in scientific, industrial and medical applications. Apart from applied interest, these lasers also offers a platform for many fundamental studies particularly, the nonlinear dynamics.
When several dissipative solitons coexist in a laser cavity, they coherently interact leading to self-assembly of stable multi-soliton bound states also termed soliton molecules.
Noise-like pulses is a wave packet in the ranges of 10-100ps encompassing large number of sub pulses with randomly varying amplitudes, durations.
