Abstract

We report experimental observation of incoherently coupled dark-bright vector solitons in single-mode fibers. Properties of the vector solitons agree well with those predicted by the respective systems of incoherently coupled nonlinear Schroedinger equations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental observation of temporal incoherently coupled dark-bright solitons in single-mode fibers.
