Abstract

We demonstrate the generation of a unique regime of multiple solitons in a Tm-doped ultrafast fiber laser at ∼1938.72 nm. The temporal pulse-to-pulse separation among the multiple solitons, 10 in a single-pulse bunch, increases from 0.89 ns to 1.85 ns per round trip. In addition, with the increasing pump power, the number of bunched solitons increases from 3 up to 24 linearly, while the average time separation in the soliton bunch varies irregularly between ∼0.80 and ∼1.52 ns. These results contribute to a more profound comprehension of nonlinear pulse dynamics in ultrafast fiber lasers.
