Multimode fiber (MMF) lasers can be invaluable for various applications, including high-energy pulse generation, precision measurement, and nonlinear microscopy. They also serve as an outstanding testbed for nonlinear spatiotemporal physics. The generation of ultrashort pulses in nonlinear multimode resonators relies upon spatiotemporal mode-locking (STML), which involves synchronization in both spatial and temporal dimensions. This review focuses on the fundamentals of STML, with a particular emphasis on the dynamics under large intermode dispersion. Recent progresses in spatiotemporal measurement techniques, exotic nonlinear dynamics of spatiotemporal dissipative solitons (STDS), and spatial mode engineering in MMF lasers are covered. We also provide an outlook on future perspectives for STML.
