Abstract :
Applying high-speed polarimetry we experimentally demonstrate new types of vector solitons for multipulse operation in an erbium doped carbon nanotube mode-locked laser. The observed states of polarisation reveal either fast pulse-to-pulse polarisation switching between crosspolarised modes or slow cyclic evolution.
