Based on self - consistent field theory we study a soliton generation in cw solid-state lasers with semiconductor saturable absorber. Various soliton destabilizations, i.e. the switch from femtosecond to picosecond generation (picosecond collapse), an automodulation regime, breakdown of soliton generation and hysteresis behavior, are predicted.

The influence of nonlinear properties of semiconductor saturable absorbers on ultrashort pulse generation was investigated. It was shown, that linewidth enhancement, quadratic and linear ac Stark effect contribute essentially to the mode locking in c
w solid-state lasers, that can increase the pulse stability, decrease pulse duration and reduce the mode locking threshold
We present a numerical study of the collective dynamics in a population of coupled excitable lasers with saturable absorber. At variance with previous studies where real-valued (lossy) coupling was considered, we focus here on the purely imaginary co
upling (evanescent wave coupling). We show that evanescently coupled excitable lasers synchronize in a more efficient way compared to the lossy coupled ones. Furthermore we show that out-of-diagonal disorder-induced localization of excitability takes place for imaginary coupling too, but it can be frustrated by nonvanishing linewidth enhancement factor.
Harnessing pulse generation from an ultrafast laser is a challenging task as reaching a specific mode-locked regime generally involves adjusting multiple control parameters, in connection with a wide range of accessible pulse dynamics. Machine-learni
ng tools have recently shown promising for the design of smart lasers that can tune themselves to desired operating states. Yet, machine-learning algorithms are mainly designed to target regimes of parameter-invariant, stationary pulse generation, while the intelligent excitation of evolving pulse patterns in a laser remains largely unexplored. Breathing solitons exhibiting periodic oscillatory behavior, emerging as ubiquitous mode-locked regime of ultrafast fibre lasers, are attracting considerable interest by virtue of their connection with a range of important nonlinear dynamics, such as exceptional points, and the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam paradox. Here, we implement an evolutionary algorithm for the self-optimisation of the breather regime in a fibre laser mode-locked through a four-parameter nonlinear polarisation evolution. Depending on the specifications of the merit function used for the optimisation procedure, various breathing-soliton states are obtained, including single breathers with controllable oscillation period and breathing ratio, and breather molecular complexes with a controllable number of elementary constituents. Our work opens up a novel avenue for exploration and optimisation of complex dynamics in nonlinear systems.
Laser brightness is a measure of the ability to de- liver intense light to a target, and encapsulates both the energy content and the beam quality. High brightness lasers requires that both parameters be maximised, yet standard laser cavities do not
allow this. For example, in solid-state lasers multimode beams have a high energy content but low beam quality, while Gaussian modes have a small mode volume and hence low energy extraction, but in a good quality mode. Here we over- come this fundamental limitation and demonstrate an optimal approach to realising high brightness lasers. We employ intra- cavity beam shaping to produce a Gaussian mode that carries all the energy of the multimode beam, thus energy extraction and beam quality are simultaneously maximised. This work will have a significant influence on the design of future high brightness laser cavities.
Nonstationary pulse regimes associated with self modulation of a Kerr-lens modelocked Ti:sapphire laser have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Such laser regimes occur at an intracavity group delay dispersion that is smaller or larger th
an what is required for stable modelocking and exhibit modulation in pulse amplitude and spectra at frequencies of several hundred kHz. Stabilization of such modulations, leading to an increase in the pulse peak power by a factor of ten, were accomplished by weakly modulating the pump laser with the self-modulation frequency. The main experimental observations can be explained with a round trip model of the fs laser taking into account gain saturation, Kerr lensing, and second- and third-order dispersion.
