Abstract

Dissipative soliton (DS) is a well-known concept attracting substantial practical and fundamental interest [1]. DS generation is often accompanied by the DS resonance effect, when energy of soliton is growing with increasing its temporal duration. Following resonance leads to peak power clamping effect and narrowing optical spectrum that potentially limits a performance of fiber laser [2]. Also, in the area of high-energy solitons strong limitation on peak power is affected by stimulated Raman scattering saturating peak power of a soliton [3].

First dissipative resonance (purple region in Fig.2. b) appears at relatively low total pump powers of amplifying fibers with clamped peak power around 50 W and average power up to 100 mW (Fig.2. a). Further increasing pump power of LD2 switch up to fourth resonance with peak power around 300 W and average power up to 270 mW. It worth to note that stable regimes with large Raman part exist between stable Raman-free resonances. We believe that our findings may provide a new route to increase both pulse energy and peak power in ultrafast fiber lasers.
