Dissipative vector solitons in a dispersionmanaged cavity fiber laser with net positive cavity dispersion

Opt Express. 2009 Jan 19;17(2):455-60. doi: 10.1364/oe.17.000455.

Abstract

We report on the experimental observation of gain-guided vector solitons (GGVSs) in a dispersion-managed fiber laser mode-locked with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). Both the frequency-locked and phase-locked GGVS were observed. In addition, formation of multiple GGVSs and GGVS harmonic mode-locking were also experimentally revealed. Numerical simulations confirmed the GGVS formation in the fiber lasers.
