Observations of Existence and Instability Dynamics of Near-Zero-Dispersion Temporal Kerr Cavity Solitons
Zongda Li, Yiqing Xu, Caleb Todd +4
Dissipative Kerr cavity solitons (CSs) are persisting pulses of light that manifest themselves in driven optical resonators and that have attracted significant attention over the l…
Self-symmetrization of symmetry-breaking dynamics in passive Kerr resonators
Julien Fatome, Gang Xu, Bruno Garbin +5
The realization of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) requires a system that exhibits a near perfect symmetry. SSB manifests itself through a pitchfork bifurcation, but that bifur…
Ghost interaction of breathers
Gang Xu, Andrey Gelash, Amin Chabchoub +2
Mutual interaction of localized nonlinear waves, e.g. solitons and modulation instability patterns, is a fascinating and intensively-studied topic of nonlinear science. In this res…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking of dissipative optical solitons in a two-component Kerr resonator
Gang Xu, Alexander Nielsen, Bruno Garbin +6
Dissipative solitons are self-localised structures that can persist indefinitely in "open" systems characterised by continual exchange of energy and/or matter with the environment.…
Phase transitions of photon fluid flows driven by a virtual all-optical piston
Abdelkrim Bendahmane, Gang Xu, Matteo Conforti +3
The piston problem, i.e. the dynamics in a uniform gas at rest under the action of a moving piston is fundamental problem of physics and a canonical case study in shock wave physic…
Observation of modulation instability and rogue breathers on stationary periodic waves
Gang Xu, Amin Chabchoub, Dmitry E. Pelinovsky +1
We present both theoretical description and experimental observation of the modulation instability process and related rogue breathers in the case of stationary periodic background…
Phase evolution of Peregrine-like breathers in optics and hydrodynamics
Gang Xu, Kamal Hammani, Amin Chabchoub +3
We present a detailed study of the phase properties of rational breather waves observed in the hydrodynamic and optical domains, namely the Peregrine soliton and related second-ord…
On the origins of spectral broadening of incoherent waves:Catastrophic process of coherence degradation
Gang Xu, Josselin Garnier, Benno Rumpf +5
We revisit the mechanisms underlying the process of spectral broadening of incoherent optical waves propagating in nonlinear media on the basis of nonequilibrium thermodynamic cons…
Dispersive dam-break flow of a photon fluid
Gang Xu, Matteo Conforti, Alexandre Kudlinski +2
We investigate the temporal photonic analogue of the dam-break phenomenon for shallow water by exploiting a fiber optics setup. We clearly observe the decay of the step-like input…
