Abstract

Chong et al. demonstrated a stable passively mode-locked all-normal-dispersion fiber laser and pulse generation is attributed to the strong spectral filtering of chirped pulses, dissipative soliton pulses [1]. In the following years, with very-large-mode-area fibers the energy and power scalability of the dissipative soliton pulses is demonstrated. Recently, multimodal interactions are subject to device studies with various configurations. Nazemosadat et al. theoretically proposed a short graded-index multimode fiber segment in between single mode fiber as a saturable absorber [2]. On the other hand, with similar device structure an allfiber bandpass filter is later presented both numerically and experimentally [3].
