Emission of an all-fiber, Dissipative Soliton Resonance (DSR) mode-locked, Double-Clad (DC), Erbium-Ytterbium (Er:Yb) laser configuration is investigated under several different values of large anomalous dispersion. The laser was mode-locked by means of Nonlinear Amplifying Loop Mirror (NALM) in a Figure-8 (F8) resonator configuration. The boundaries of anomalous dispersion in which the laser operated in purely DSR regime was experimentally verified by changing the length of passive SMF28 fiber spliced into the NALM. The influence of 6 different values of dispersion (-1.061 ps 2 to -10.7 ps 2 ) on the pulse properties is presented and discussed.
