Polarization dynamics of dissipative-soliton-resonance pulses in passively mode-locked fiber lasers.

We present a comprehensive numerical investigation of the polarization dynamics of dissipative-soliton-resonance (DSR) pulses in a passively mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser with a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM). In our simulations, the NOLM's saturable absorption effect is modeled by its transmission function. Depending on the strength of cavity birefringence, various types of vector DSR pulses, including the polarization-locked DSR (PL-DSR), the polarization rotation-locked DSR (PRL-DSR), and the group velocity-locked DSR (GVL-DSR) states are obtained in the laser cavity. The characteristics of these vector DSR pulses are shown. We also analyze the polarization evolution and internal polarization dynamics of PRL-DSR pulses within the cavity. Our simulation results offer insight into the vector nature of DSR pulses in polarization-insensitive mode-locked fiber lasers.
