We demonstrate an emergent solitonic pulse generation approach exploiting the externally introduced or intrinsic loss fluctuation effects. Single or multiple pulses are accessible via self-evolution of the system in the red, blue detuning regime or even on resonance with loss perturbation. The potential well caused by the loss profile not only traps the generated pulses, but also helps to suppress the drift regarding high-order dispersion. Breathing dynamics is also observed with high driving force, which can be transferred to stable state by backward tuning the pump detuning. We further investigate the intrinsic free carrier absorption, recognized as unfavored effect traditionally, could be an effective factor for pulse excitation through the time-variant loss fluctuation in normal dispersion microresonators. Pulse excitation dynamics associated with physical parameters are also discussed. These findings could establish a feasible path for stable localized structures and Kerr microcombs generation in potential platforms. © 2022 Optica Publishing Group.
