contents Important ongoing research on mode-locked fiber lasers aims at developing new types of multi-soliton regimes, such as soliton molecules, molecular complexes or soliton crystals. The on-demand generation of such multi-pulse structures is a major challenge, whereas experiments generally involve a tedious trial-and-error adjustment of the laser parameters. Here, we present an approach based on a gradual and calibrated adjustment of the system configuration, which employs efficient parameter routes to reach well-defined multi-pulse regimes. Our numerical simulations show that once the mode-locking threshold is reached, we can adjust the laser parameters gradually to force the evolution of the laser dynamics towards multi-pulse structures with fewer distortion in their intensity profiles, which are accessible at reduced pump power levels.
