the other dimension of freedom left untouched so far is polarization. While there had been

simultaneous oscillations of two pulses with different speeds in a birefrigent cavity would be

Abstract
Two orthogonally polarized soliton pulse trains with different repetition rates are stably generated from a passively mode-locked fiber ring cavity with a section of polarization maintaining fiber. The frequency difference can be varied as well.
