We experimentally characterize the dynamics of soliton explosions in a transient chaotic state between a single and double pulsing state, as well as periodic explosions induced by soliton collisions in a dual wavelength soliton state. These explosions occurring in a thulium-doped linear fiber laser with net anomalous dispersion are characterized with real-time measurements based on a modified time-stretched dispersive Fourier transform method relying on second-harmonic generation.
