摘要: Two fundamental laser physics phenomena - dissipative soliton and polarisation of light are recently merged to the concept vector (VDS), viz. train short pulses with specific state (SOP) shape defined by an interplay between anisotropy, gain/loss, dispersion, nonlinearity. Emergence VDSs is both scientific interest also a promising technique for control dynamic SOPs important numerous applications from nano-optics high capacity fibre optic communications. Using specially designed developed fast polarimeter, we present here first experimental results on SOP evolution molecules periodic switching two three superposition precessing. The underlying presents linear circular birefringence cavity along induced anisotropy caused hole burning.
