A combined analytical approach to classify soliton dynamics from dissipative soliton to dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) is developed based on the established laser models. The approach, derived from two compatible analytical solutions to the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (CQGLE), characterizes the pulse evolution process from both algebraic and physical points of view. The proposed theory is proved to be valid in real world laser oscillators according to numerical simulations, and potentially offers guideline on the design of DSR cavity configurations.
