Abstract :
The concept of a dissipative optical soliton is applied to interpret various pulse dynamics either predicted numerically or observed experimentally in passively mode-locked fiber lasers. The recently discovered “dissipative soliton resonance” phenomenon and “soliton rain” dynamics are highlighted as prominent examples.
