Retiming dynamics of harmonically mode-locked laser solitons in a self-driven optomechanical lattice by Xiaocong Wang, Benhai Wang, Wenbin He, Xintong Zhang, Qi Huang, Zhiyuan Huang, Xin Jiang, Meng Pang, Philip. St. J. Russell

“…Here, in a series of carefully designed experiments, we elucidate the retiming dynamics of laser pulses generated in a soliton fiber laser harmonically mode-locked at GHz frequencies to the acoustic resonance in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) core. We characterize the self-driven optomechanical lattice, which is distributed along the PCF and provides the structure that supports harmonic mode-locking, using a homodyne setup. …”
