A revolutionary new approach to dissipative solitons has been discovered that could revolutionize the ability to control and manipulate light in photonic systems. This approach is called spatiotemporal mode-locking, and it could potentially enable the manipulation of multiple modes of light in a single optical source. This breakthrough could make it possible to use multiple wavelength sources in a single optical system, opening the door to new applications, including high-speed optical communications, optical sensing, and imaging. The research was published in the journal Nature Photonics.
