Abstract
A fiber laser with a semiconductor saturable absorption mirror (SESAM) and a graphene-polymer composite (GPC) film is constructed for achieving different soliton bunching patterns. The SESAM is used as a mode locker for self-started pulse generation, while the GPC provides a nonsaturable absorption effect for achieving a bunching in the laser cavity. There are three extra temporal patterns observed in the experiments through adjusting polarization controllers. They are chaotic bunching, weak coherent bunching and modulated harmonic bunching. The experimental investigation shows that dynamic nonsaturable absorption effect of an absorber is beneficial for generating different bunching patterns. Our work can have a deeper understanding of the formation of the complex soliton bunching patterns in pulsed lasers.
