Abstract
A normal-dispersion fiber laser is operated using parameters in which dissipative solitons exist with remarkably large pulse duration and chirp, along with large pulse energy. A low-repetition-rate oscillator that generates pulses with large and linear chirp can thus replace the standard oscillator, stretcher, pulse-picker and preamplifier in a chirped-pulse fiber amplifier.
