Title :
Few-cycle fiber lasers based on self-similar pulse propagation

Abstract :
Lasers with self-similar evolution of the pulse in the gain medium can tolerate strong spectral breathing. This property can be exploited in a fiber laser to generate pulses much shorter than the gain-bandwidth limit.
