Abstract

In this chapter, the multiplexed dissipative soliton fiber lasers including bidirectional multiplexing, wavelength multiplexing, polarization multiplexing are discussed. In bidirectional multiplexed soliton lasers, the features of various saturable absorbers are introduced. For wavelength multiplexed ones, balancing the gain competition by filter, attenuation or other methods is essential. Additionally, the polarization multiplexed ones are often used as the light sources for dual-comb spectroscopy. Finally, we discussed the emerging multiplexed methods such as mode multiplexing and orbital angular momentum multiplexing.
