Abstract :
Based on coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations and Jones matrixes, we numerically studied the polarization dynamics in dissipative soliton fiber lasers mode-locked by nonlinear polarization rotation. It is found that the components at two polarization axes are of different energies and spectra, which are intrinsic conditions of high-energy pulse generation. Besides, the non-uniform polarization rotation in dissipative soliton fiber lasers can act as a spectral filter, assisting mode-locking.
