摘要

Abstract

Mode-locked lasers emitting a train of femtosecond pulses called dissipative solitons are an enabling technology for metrology

high-resolution spectroscopy

fibre optic communications

nano-optics and many other fields of science and applications. Recently

the vector nature of dissipative solitons has been exploited to demonstrate mode locked lasing with both locked and rapidly evolving states of polarisation. Here

for an erbium-doped fibre laser mode locked with carbon nanotubes

we demonstrate the first experimental and theoretical evidence of a new class of slowly evolving vector solitons characterized by a double-scroll chaotic polarisation attractor substantially different from Lorenz

Rössler and Ikeda strange attractors. The underlying physics comprises a long time scale coherent coupling of two polarisation modes. The observed phenomena

apart from the fundamental interest

provide a base for advances in secure communications

trapping and manipulation of atoms and nanoparticles

control of magnetisation in data storage devices and many other areas.
