Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally and study theoretically new type of stable pulse structures in erbium-doped fibre lasers - slowly polarisation evolving vector solitons. Demonstrated vector solitons precess with characteristic times of 100-1000 round trips and their trajectories form a double semicircle on the Poincaré sphere.
