Due to their potential as excellent dual-comb light sources, the dynamics of dual-color solitons within a single cavity have garnered widespread attention. In this work, we constructed a single-cavity ytterbium-doped passively mode-locked fiber laser (MLFL). By utilizing the birefringent filtering effect, dual-color solitons were successfully generated, and both collision and oscillatory dynamics of the dual-color solitons were observed. Using time-stretched dispersive Fourier transform (DFT), we revealed the details of these two distinct dynamical behaviors. We verified through numerical simulations that by adjusting the modulation depth and bandwidth of the filtering effect, it is possible to switch between the two distinct soliton dynamics behaviors. We believe that our research will contribute to the development of single-cavity dual-comb light sources and the exploration of nonlinear dynamics.

However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the buildup mechanism of synchronised pulses. Here, we report a dynamic analysis of independent and synchronised solitons buildup mechanisms in synchronised ultrafast soliton lasers.

In dual-wavelength mode-locked fiber lasers, collisions are inherent and periodic. However, how collisions influence the dynamical transitions in the dual-wavelength mode-locked state has not yet been explored.

The mode-locking is realized by periodically modulating the 2-µm signal through XPM that is activated by an injected 1.5-µm pulsed laser.
