A recent communication [Opt. Commun. doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2010.06.076 (2010)] presents experimental results in which dark pulses are observed in a dispersion-managed (DM) net-anomalous dispersion fiber laser. Disagreement on the formation mechanism proposed in this communication, we would like to indicate a more accurate explanation in order to clarify some potential misunderstanding on dark pulses in fiber lasers.
We numerically analyze a delay differential equation model of a short-cavity semiconductor laser with an intracavity frequency swept filter and reveal a complex bifurcation structure responsible for the asymmetry of the output characteristics of this laser. We show that depending on the direction of the frequency sweep of a narrowband filter, there exist two bursting cycles determined by different parts of a continuous-wave solutions branch.
We report on the observation of dispersion-managed (DM) dark soliton emission in a net-normal dispersion erbium-doped fiber laser. We found experimentally that dispersion management could not only reduce the pump threshold for the dark soliton formation in a fiber laser, but also stabilize the single dark soliton evolution in the cavity. Numerical simulations have also confirmed the DM dark soliton formation in a fiber laser.
Many natural systems display transitions among different dynamical regimes, which are difficult to identify when the data is noisy and high dimensional. A technologically relevant example is a fiber laser, which can display complex dynamical behaviors that involve nonlinear interactions of millions of cavity modes. Here we study the laminar-turbulence transition that occurs when the laser pump power is increased. By applying various data analysis tools to empirical intensity time series we characterize their persistence and demonstrate that at the transition temporal correlations can be precisely represented by a surprisingly simple model.
Recently, we showed experimentally that light carrying orbital angular momentum experiences a slight subluminality under free-space propagation [1]. We thank Saari [2] for pointing out an apparent discrepancy between our theoretical results and the well-known results for the simple case of Laguerre-Gauss modes. In this reply, we note that the resolution of this apparent discrepancy is the distinction between Laguerre-Gauss modes and Hypergeometric-Gauss modes, which were used in our experiment and in our theoretical analysis, which gives rise to different subluminal effects.
