  An all-optical pulse power editing (PPE) technique is reported. Using the PPE
technique, pulses with different peak powers are output and directed to the
positive or reverse saturable absorption (SA) range of the saturable absorber.
Further, under the combined action of the PPE technique and SA, four pulse
patterns including dissipative soliton (DS), DS molecules, soliton compounds
composed of DS and noise-like pulse (NLP), and pure NLP are controllably
generated in fiber lasers. The results are conducive for developing advanced DS
lasers and can further clarify the onset of pulse dynamic patterns.
