Abstract

A linear mode-locked fiber laser based on the semiconductor saturable absorption mirror was demonstrated to realize mode locking in group velocity locked vector soliton regime and polarization rotation vector soliton regime. The highly fixed birefringence was introduced into the linear fiber laser cavity by using a piece of polarization maintaining Erdoped fiber. The vector nature of pulse of the mode-locked fiber laser was experimentally studied. It turned out that, this birefringence enhanced mode-locked fiber laser can generate both group velocity locked vector soliton and polarization rotation vector soliton though slightly changing the birefringence of the laser cavity. The experimental results reveal the fundamental physics of group-velocity locked vector soliton and polarization rotation vector soliton generation and demonstrate that the linear birefringence enhanced fiber laser is a good platform for investigating the vector soliton.
