Abstract :
Experimental observation of different types of vector solitons such as the bright-bright, dark-dark, and dark-bright vector soliton in single mode fiber lasers is reported. Experimental techniques for observing each of the vector solitons are explained. Special features of the vector solitons in fiber lasers are numerically simulated and compared with the experiments.
