Period-Doubling and Quadrupling Bifurcation of Vector Soliton Bunches in a Graphene Mode Locked Fiber Laser

Period-doubling bifurcation and period-quadrupling bifurcation of vector soliton pulses in a graphene mode locked fiber laser is experimentally observed and investigated. Not only single vector soliton but also vector soliton bunches as a unity are found to exhibit period-doubling and period-quadrup...

description Period-doubling bifurcation and period-quadrupling bifurcation of vector soliton pulses in a graphene mode locked fiber laser is experimentally observed and investigated. Not only single vector soliton but also vector soliton bunches as a unity are found to exhibit period-doubling and period-quadrupling bifurcation. The experimental results suggest that period-doubling and quadrupling bifurcation are intrinsic features of the pulses circulating in a nonlinear ring cavity, which are independent of the properties of the mode-locker in the fiber lasers.
