Phys. Rev. A 80, 045803 (2009) [4 pages]Dark pulse emission of a fiber laserReceived 6 August 2009; published 27 October 2009 We report on the dark pulse emission of an all-normal dispersion erbium-doped fiber laser with a polarizer in cavity. We found experimentally that apart from the bright pulse emission, under appropriate conditions the fiber laser could also emit single or multiple dark pulses. Based on numerical simulations we interpret the dark pulse formation in the laser as a result of dark soliton shaping. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
