Our first demonstration of an all-PM fiber double clad erbium-ytterbium figure-8 laser mode-locked in a dissipative soliton resonance regime is presented. The laser generated µJ-level rectangular-shaped pulses with a maximum average output power of 1 W at 994 kHz repetition rate. The proposed configuration was characterized for two values resonator lengths - 44 and 205 m (total net-dispersion -0.9274 ps 2 and -4.3084 ps 2 , respectively) to verify the possibility of non-complex tailoring of pulse parameters. The long-term stability of the all-PM configuration and self-starting of the mode-locking was experimentally confirmed by exposing the laser to forces of -5G to 7G magnitude on a vibration generator.
