Because of the pulse energy quantization in fiber lasers, it is of great importance to find effective ways to increase the pulse energy directly from a fiber laser. An efficient technique is based on the dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) effect. The DSR manifest as a square pulse with constant peak power and a linear increase of both the pulse energy and duration for increasing pumping power. In practice, DSR is favoured with the use of long cavities. In this communication we propose an overview of DSR in fiber lasers including general theoretical approaches together with the most recent relevant experimental results.
