The generation of dual-wavelength polarization-color domains (PCD) in a fiber ring laser is experimentally demonstrated. Wavelength-resolved measurements validate the existence of color domains (CD). Simultaneously, polarization-resolved measurements confirm the existence of polarization domain walls. The formation of PCD is attributed to cross-gain saturation combined with cross-polarization coupling through optical Kerr effect induced by the high nonlinear fiber.
