We review research of spatial and spatiotemporal dissipative solitons and their complexes in laser with saturable absorption, beginning from geometrically one-dimensional (1D) and turning to two-dimensional (2D) and then to three-dimensional (3D) ones. We demonstrate evolution of features, including topological ones, with their enrichment, of the laser localized structures with increase of the scheme’s geometrical dimensionality.
