Dual-wavelength dissipation soliton (DS) in the all-normal-dispersion ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) is reported. Using a phase-shift long period fiber grating (PS-LPFG) as an all-fiber format spectral filter in the laser cavity, self-starting dual-wavelength pulses are obtained by nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE). The mode-locking mechanism of the ANDi cavity with different central wavelengths has analyzed. Experimental results show that the NPE together with the PS-LPFG play key roles in the generation of the dual-wavelength, meanwhile, a switchable dual-wavelength mode-locked fiber laser can achieve through change the polarization of the cavity. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i10.2961
