Progress of both theoretical and experimental results about self-similar soliton fibers laser are presented. It is pointed that the master equation is complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) instead of nonlinear Schrdinger equation (NLSE) which expounds the dynamics of evolution of self-similar soliton pulse with gain fibers because of the gain dispersion. And there has a detailed discussion about the methods of evolution features of self-similar soliton pulse, mode locked and chirp compensation about the dispersion-management fiber lasers, dissipative solitons fiber lasers, light-dark solitons fiber lasers and vector solitons fiber lasers. It has also emphasized the principle of self-similar solitons fibers laser. The applications of self-similar solitons fibers laser and the problems to be solved in the research of that are pointed out.
