Nonlinear mode coupling in whispering-gallery-mode resonators
arXiv:1604.01066 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.93.043820
Abstract
We present a first principle derivation of the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations that govern the interaction between two families of modes with different transverse profiles in a generic whispering-gallery-mode resonator. We find regions of modulational instability and the existence of trains of bright solitons both in the normal and in the anomalous dispersion regime.
