Microresonators based frequency combs, microcombs, have attracted huge interest in the last decades for their revolutionary performance of compact size, flexible comb spacing, and broad bandwidth.

Over the past decades, researchers have demonstrated conventional solitons, stretched pulses, self-similar pulses, and dissipative solitons by managing the dispersion and nonlinearity of fiber lasers.

I. Positive (normal) dispersion. This is what happens in most light-matter interaction. The medium has higher index of refraction for higher frequencies; the frequency components of a pulse are ...
