  • Incorporated a fiber-based birefringent filter to manage pulse evolution.
  • Employed numerical simulations to support experimental findings.

Main Results:

  • Achieved stable mode-locked operation in the soliton-similariton regime.
  • Generated self-similarly evolving parabolic pulses with linear chirp in the normal dispersion region.
  • Obtained dechirped similariton and soliton pulses with durations of 75.5 fs and 167.2 fs, respectively.
  • Demonstrated robust mode-locking due to dual soliton and similariton attractors.

Conclusions:

  • The developed fiber laser exhibits robust and stable mode-locked operation.
  • The soliton-similariton mode-locking mechanism effectively produces ultrashort pulses with linear chirp.
  • Experimental results are well-supported by numerical simulations, validating the laser design and operation.
