  • A D-shaped fiber is coated with a new two-dimensional nanomaterial, violet phosphorus (VP), to create a saturable absorber (SA) with a modulation depth of 3.68%. Subsequently, the SA is inserted into a fiber laser, enabling successful generation of dark solitons and bright–dark soliton pairs through adjustment of the polarization state within the cavity. Through further study, mode-locked pulses are achieved, proving the existence of polarization-locked vector solitons. The results indicate that VP can be used as a polarization-independent SA.
