Multiple vector solitons in an ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on evanescent field interaction with graphene saturable absorber

Abstract

An ytterbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser with a microfiber-based graphene saturable absorber (GSA) was proposed. By controlling cavity parameters such as pump power level and orientations of PCs, both multiple polarization locked vector solitons (PLVSs) and polarization rotation vector solitons (PRVSs) were investigated.
