Temporal cavity solitons are optical pulses that can persist in passive resonators, such as
microresonators and fiber-based resonators. They can preserve their shape and energy …

Within optical microresonators, the Kerr interaction of photons can lead to symmetry
breaking of optical modes. In a ring resonator, this leads to the interesting effect that light …

Ring cavities are quickly emerging as preferential platforms to investigate spontaneous
symmetry breaking. However, research on handedness polarisation splitting within Kerr …

Long-range interactions between dark vectorial temporal cavity solitons are induced by the
formation of patterns via spontaneous symmetry breaking of orthogonally polarized fields in …

The ranges of existence and stability of dark cavity-soliton stationary states in a Fabry-Pérot
resonator with a Kerr nonlinear medium and normal dispersion are determined. The Fabry …

Symmetry and symmetry breaking of light states play an important role in photonic integrated
circuits and have recently attracted lots of research interest that is relevant to the …

Nonlinear effects in microresonators are efficient building blocks for all-optical computing
and telecom systems. With the latest advances in microfabrication, coupled microresonators …

The rapidly growing field of integrated photonics is enabling a large number of novel
devices for optical data processing, neuromorphic computing and circuits for quantum …

We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that linear coupling due to the
backscattering between two counterpropagating modes in a Kerr microresonator leads to …

We report on numerical predictions and experimental observations of a novel type of
temporal localized dissipative structures that manifest themselves in the self-defocusing …
