Normal group velocity dispersion (GVD) microcombs offer high comb line power and high
pumping efficiency compared to bright pulse microcombs. The recent demonstration of …

A condensed review is presented for two basic topics in the theory of pattern formation in
nonlinear dissipative media:(i) domain walls (DWs, alias grain boundaries), which appear as …

Kerr microresonators driven in the normal dispersion regime typically require the presence
of localized dispersion perturbations, such as those induced by avoided mode crossings, to …

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is central to our understanding of physics and explains
many natural phenomena, from cosmic scales to subatomic particles. Its use for applications …

We investigate the influence of the stimulated Raman scattering on the formation of bright
and dark localized states in all-fiber resonators subject to a coherent optical injection, when …

We characterize the formation of robust stationary states formed by light plateaus separated
by two local switching fronts in only one of two counterpropagating fields in ring resonators …

We theoretically investigate the combined impact of the Kerr and stimulated Raman
scattering effect on the formation of localized structures and frequency comb generation. We …

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 …

Modulation instability (MI) in the presence of noise typically leads to an irreversible and
complete disintegration of a plane wave background. Here we report on experiments …

We investigate the formation of dark vector dissipative solitons in the presence of nonlinear
polarization mode coupling in optical resonators subject to a coherent optical injection in the …
