Abstract

This report analyses possible mechanisms of conversion of noise-like laser pulses into coherent ones with comparatively high efficiency. It is demonstrated that incoherent or partly coherent pulses can be promising for phase-insensitive pumping in processes where the structure of pumping pulses is not related to the structure of generated/transformed pulses. Among applications that leverage such processes may be mentioned, for example, passively mode-locked pulse generation, supercontinuum generation in a nonlinear amplifier, as well as some others. Efficient conversion of noise-like laser pulses into coherent solitons enables attractive prospects of application of localised noise-like wave objects capable of carrying relatively high energies.
