Abstract We report a dissipative soliton laser utilizing thulium-doped fiber as the saturable absorber. By adjusting the polarization controller and pump power, a stable fundamental dissipative pulse has been successfully achieved, featuring a center wavelength of 1565.88 nm, a 3-dB bandwidth of 1.20 nm, a repetition frequency of 36.9 MHz, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 64 dB. Combined the gradual increase of the pump power with the intracavity polarization optimization, the spectral morphology evolves into a parabolic shape, $\Pi$-shape, and M-shape. Moreover, through increasing the gain, multiple dissipative pulses include dissipative soliton pairs and triples are manifested because of the peak power clamping effect. The repetition frequencies are 73.8 MHz and 110.7 MHz, respectively, with signal-to-noise ratios both more than 60 dB, indicating that the constructed dissipative soliton laser has excellent stability. This study not only enhances the understanding of the nonlinear dynamic process of dissipative soliton generation, but also offers a novel approach for designing ultrafast lasers characterized by high stability and an all-fiber structure.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
