Abstract

A polarization-controlled multiple dissipative solitons generation in a normal dispersion fiber ring laser operating in L-band is demonstrated. The fiber laser is passively mode-locked with nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technique. Depending on the rotations of the PCs, the number of the pulses circulating in the laser cavity can be tuned from 1 to 4. The experimental results suggest that the generation of multiple pulses is caused by the soliton shaping of dispersive waves induced by the variations of spectral filtering effect.
