The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Dispersion-managed solitons in fibre systems and lasers (2012, background): “In this limit a generic nonlinear transfer function of the form [33,269]”
A Tutorial on Nonlinear Photonic Applications of Carbon Nanotube and Graphene (2012, background): “This process, by itself, is capable of producing short pulses, shorter than the recovery time of the SA, nevertheless the SA is needed to initiate mode locking and prevent the buildup of noise in the intervals between the pulses [91].”
Laser mode locking using a saturable absorber incorporating carbon nanotubes (2004, background): “A key device in a passively mode-locked fiber laser is a nonlinear element, which has an intensity-dependent response to favor optical pulse formation over continuous-wave (CW) lasing [3].”
Mechanisms of spatiotemporal mode-locking (2019, background): “In space-time, multimode solitons occur for anomalous dispersion, while in space an attractor towards the fundamental mode is expected [8–12].”
Topological dissipation in a time-multiplexed photonic resonator network (2021, positive): “Such ‘dissipation engineer-ing’ plays an important role in superconducting circuits, ultracold atoms and photonics, where it is used for reservoir engineering 9 , laser mode-locking 10,11 , and quantum and photonic computing 12–14 .”
