Abstract
This work presents a comparative review of two classes of advanced,
ultrafast, fiber lasers: dissipative soliton resonance (DSR)
oscillators and Mamyshev oscillators. These two classes have received
significant attention in recent years and have arguably the highest
potential among new ultrafast fiber oscillators, which motivated this
work. Working principles are carefully described, and the mechanisms
used to mitigate or exploit nonlinearity are highlighted and
discussed. An analysis of existing laser systems based on the two
classes is performed, with focus on pulse duration, energy, and peak
power. Examples of both classes based on ytterbium-, erbium-, and
thulium-doped fibers are presented. It is found that the DSR laser
generally achieves higher pulse energies than the Mamyshev oscillator,
but the latter results in shorter pulse durations. Finally, it is
concluded that Mamyshev oscillators perform better in terms of peak
power and stability since they do not rely on suppressing
nonlinearity. Suggestions for further improvements are made.
