Soliton blockade in bidirectional microresonators
arXiv:2011.12462 · doi:10.1364/OL.409362
Abstract
We report a method to control - disrupt and restore, a regime of the unidirectional soliton generation in a bidirectionally pumped ring microresonator. This control, i.e., the soliton blockade, is achieved by tuning pump frequency of the counterrotating field. The blockade effect is correlated with the emergence of a dark-bright nonlinear resonance of the cw-states.
