The present work demonstrates a fibre-laser system with automatic electronic-controlled triggering of dissipative soliton generation mode. Passive mode locking based on the effect of non-linear polarisation evolution has been achieved through a polarisation controller containing a single low-voltage liquid crystal plate whose optimal wave delay was determined from analysis of inter-mode beat spectrum of the output radiation.

RF inter-mode beat laser spectrum around 8 MHz typical of the most stable (a) and less stable (b) mode-locked operation.
Time diagram of the programmatically controlled laser mode lock starting: P – pump radiation power; V – control voltage on the liquid crystal plate; dashed line – dependence of the magnitude of the peak of the radio-frequency inter-mode beat spectrum on the voltage applied to the liquid crystal cell.
Left – Optical spectrum of the output radiation at the pump power equal to Pthr; right – output radiation spectrum at the pump power equal to Pw.
The recorded auto-correlation function of the laser’s output.
