Polarization is a crucial factor in shaping and stabilizing mode-locking pulses. We develop an orthogonally polarized numerical modeling of passive mode-locked graphene fiber lasers for generating orthogonally polarized dissipative solitons (DSs). The focus is on analyzing the influence of orthogonal polarization in this net-normal dispersion birefringent cavity caused by the polarization-dependent graphene microfiber saturable absorber. The research results demonstrate that the recovery time of such saturable absorbers significantly affects the characteristics of the orthogonally polarized DSs’ output pulses, including energy, pulse width, time-bandwidth product, and chirps. Results show that its recovery time of 120 fs is optimal, producing two orthogonally polarized narrow dissipative soliton pulses with large chirps of about 7.47 ps and 8.06 ps. This has significant implications for the development of compact, high-power, polarized dissipative soliton fiber laser systems.
