All-normal-dispersion (ANDi) dissipative soliton mode-locking is realized based on nonlinear multimode interference (NMI), which is implemented by offset-splicing three pieces of graded-index multimode fibers (GIMFs) and acts as a saturable absorber. The higher-order modes can be excited by offset-splicing GIMFs (OS-GIMFs), which eliminates adding the step multimode fiber (SIMF) into the resonant cavity and the precise length requirement of the SIMF. In the experiment, the stable dissipative soliton mode-locking at 1030 nm can be obtained with the pulse width of 7.3 ps and the repetition rate of 20.52 MHz, and the bandwidth is 6.98 nm. The maximum output is 3.2 mW with the pump power of 257 mW. The OS-GIMFs can significantly improve the saturated absorption and can easily realize dissipative soliton mode-locking in ANDi regions, which makes it attractive in ultrafast photonics.

Modulation instability (MI) of the continuous wave (cw) has been associated with the onset of stable solitons in conservative and dissipative systems. The cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) is a prototype of a damped, driven, nonlinear, and dispersive system. The inclusion of nonlinear gradients is essential to stabilize pulses whether stationary or oscillatory.

We report on numerical predictions and experimental observations of a novel type of temporal localized dissipative structures that manifest themselves in the self-defocusing regime of driven nonlinear optical resonators with two polarization modes. These chiral dissipative solitons, which we term "polarization faticons," break both temporal and polarization symmetry and consist of two bright lobes of opposite polarization handedness, interlocked by a domain wall. Our study reveals that faticons are connected to a vectorial modulational instability, from which they can be excited through a collapsing dynamic.

We study the interaction of stationary and oscillatory dissipative solitons (DSs) in the framework of two coupled cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equations. Depending on the approach velocity and the cubic cross coupling between counter-propagating DSs, we obtain during the interaction process an amplitude enhancement of up to about a factor of 2.51.

The linear stability of two exact stationary solutions of the parametrically driven, damped nonlinear Dirac equation is investigated. Stability is ascertained through the resolution of the eigenvalue problem, which stems from the linearization of this equation around the exact solutions. On the one hand, it is proven that one of these solutions is always unstable, which confirms previous analysis based on a variational method.

In topology, averaging over local geometrical details reveals robust global features. These are crucial in physics for understanding quantized bulk transport and exotic boundary effects of linear wave propagation in (meta-)materials. Beyond linear Hamiltonian systems, topological physics strives to characterize open (non-Hermitian) and interacting systems.
