We report on the experimental observation of dual-wavelength dissipative soliton operation of a fiber laser with net anomalous cavity dispersion. Different from the dual- or multi-wavelength soliton operation of fiber lasers where mode locking is used to initiate soliton formation, no mode locking occurs in our fiber laser. Instead, soliton formation is through the dissipative mechanism caused by the effective gain bandwidth limitation. Either dual-wavelength scalar, or vector, or induced dissipative solitons are experimentally obtained. Their robustness is experimentally confirmed.
