Dissipative spatiotemporal soliton in a driven waveguide laser (2402.13348v2)

Published 20 Feb 2024 in physics.optics and nlin.PS

Abstract: A distributed Kerr-lens mode locking regime can be realized in a waveguide laser by spatial profiling of the pump beam, thus creating a spatio-temporal soliton. Additional slow temporal modulation of the pump source stabilizes the spatio-temporal solution in a broad range of parameters, which are defined by the dynamic gain saturation. We choose a Cr:ZnS waveguide laser as a practical example, but such a regime is feasible in various waveguide and fiber oscillators. A far-reaching analogy with Bose-Einstein condensates allows using this approach to stabilization of the weakly dissipative BECs.
