Abstract

We report on the experimental and numerical studies exploring dynamical processes of soliton birth and annihilation of solitons in the laser ring cavity. The specific purpose of the research is focused on the exact control of the pulse repetition rate of a harmonically mode-locked fiber laser. We have demonstrated that the birth of a new pulse occurs from the soliton background (i.e., from the dispersive waves) through its shaping to the soliton or from the existing pulse through its splitting. The injection of external continuous wave (CW) allows one-by-one change of the number of solitons in the laser cavity thus enabling the fine-tuning of the pulse repetition rate. We present new experimental observations of the laser transition dynamics associated with the changes of the soliton numbers and give clear insight into the possible physical mechanisms responsible for these effects.
