Abstract :
Wave breaking of similariton in all-normal-dispersion (ANDi) fiber lasers is studied theoretically and experimentally. The nonlinear intra-cavity spectral filtering balance becomes unstable with greatly-decreased ASE noise tolerance under excessive nonlinearity, and then wave breaking occurs.
