▎ 摘  要

We report on the experimental observation of quasi-periodic dynamics of vector solitons in an erbium-doped fiber laser passively mode-locked with atomic layer graphene. Apart from the stable polarization-locked vector soliton emission, it was found that under certain conditions the fiber laser could also emit vector solitons with quasi-periodic pulse energy variation and polarization rotation during the cavity roundtrips. We show that the physical mechanism for the quasi-periodic vector soliton evolution is cavity-induced soliton modulation instability. Quasi-periodic evolution of multiple vector solitons was also observed in the same laser.
