Abstract
Implementations and examples of mode-locked fiber lasers based on fiber laser cavity designs that produce self-similar pulses ('similaritons') with parabolic pulse profiles with respect to time at the output of the fiber gain media to effectuate the desired mode locking operation. An intra-cavity narrowband optical spectral filter is included in such fiber lasers to ensure the proper similariton conditions.
