Instabilities and extreme events in all-normal dispersion mode-locked fibre lasers. In: Wabnitz, (Ed.): Nonlinear Guided Wave Optics: A testbed for extreme waves, Chapter 5, IOP Publishing, 2017.
Abstract
We present an overview of extreme events and complex dissipative phenomena in all-normal dispersion mode-locked fibre lasers. In particular, we describe how stimulated Raman scattering can destabilize the laser operation, giving rise to noise-like pulses displaying long-tailed statistics. We also discuss the appearance and dynamics of transient 'soliton explosion' events, as well as rogue dark solitons that can manifest themselves during the build-up phase of laser radiation. Our focus is on surveying experimental findings, but we also describe results from numerical simulations where pertinent.
