We report the first experimental observation of coherently coupled black-black solitons in a quasi-isotropic cavity fiber laser with normal cavity dispersion. The properties of the vector solitons accord well with the theoretical predictions based on the coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Numerical studies and experimental results clearly confirmed the existence of the highly robust vector black solitons in the fiber laser system.
