Multimode fiber (MMF) lasers are emerging as a remarkable testbed to study nonlinear spatiotemporal physics with potential applications spanning from high energy pulse generation
precision measurement to nonlinear microscopy. The underlying mechanism for the generation of ultrashort pulses
which can be understood as a spatiotempoal dissipative soliton (STDS)
in the nonlinear multimode resonators is the spatiotemporal mode-locking (STML) with simultaneous synchronization of temporal and spatial modes. In this review
we first introduce the general principles of STML
with an emphasize on the STML dynamics with large intermode dispersion. Then
we present the recent progress of STML
including measurement techniques for STML
exotic nonlinear dynamics of STDS
and mode field engineering in MMF lasers. We conclude by outlining some perspectives that may advance STML in the near future.
