A modular optically pumped magnetometer system
Thomas Coussens, Aikaterini Gialopsou, Christopher Abel +8
To address the demands in healthcare and industrial settings for spatially resolved magnetic imaging, we present a modular optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) system comprising a m…
A Kerr Polarization Controller
Niall Moroney, Leonardo Del Bino, Shuangyou Zhang +10
Kerr-effect-induced changes of the polarization state of light are well known in pulsed laser systems. An example is nonlinear polarization rotation, which is critical to the opera…
Kerr-Nonlinearity-Induced Mode-Splitting in Optical Microresonators
George N. Ghalanos, Jonathan M. Silver, Leonardo Del Bino +5
The Kerr effect in optical microresonators plays an important role for integrated photonic devices and enables third harmonic generation, four-wave mixing, and the generation of mi…
Self-switching Kerr oscillations of counter-propagating light in microresonators
Michael T. M. Woodley, Lewis Hill, Leonardo Del Bino +2
We report the experimental observation of oscillatory antiphase switching between counter-propagating light beams in Kerr ring microresonators, including the emergence of periodic…
Logic Gates based on Interaction of Counterpropagating Light in Microresonators
Niall Moroney, Leonardo Del Bino, Michael T. M. Woodley +5
Optical logic has the potential to replace electronics with photonic circuits in applications for which optic-to-electronic conversion is impractical and for integrated all-optical…
Coherent suppression of backscattering in optical microresonators
Andreas Ø. Svela, Jonathan M. Silver, Leonardo Del Bino +4
As light propagates along a waveguide, a fraction of the field can be reflected by Rayleigh scatterers. In high-quality-factor whispering-gallery-mode microresonators, this intrins…
Effects of self- and cross-phase modulation on the spontaneous symmetry breaking of light in ring resonators
Lewis Hill, Gian-Luca Oppo, Michael T. M. Woodley +1
We describe spontaneous symmetry breaking in the powers of two optical modes coupled into a ring resonator, using a pair of coupled Lorentzian equations, featuring tunable self- an…
Universal Symmetry Breaking Dynamics for the Kerr Interaction of Counter-Propagating Light in Dielectric Ring Resonators
Michael T. M. Woodley, Jonathan M. Silver, Lewis Hill +5
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is an important concept in many areas of physics. A fundamentally simple symmetry breaking mechanism in electrodynamics occurs between counter-propaga…
μW-Level Microresonator Solitons with Extended Stability Range Using an Auxiliary Laser
Shuangyou Zhang, Jonathan Silver, Leonardo Del Bino +6
The recent demonstration of dissipative Kerr solitons in microresonators has opened a new pathway for the generation of ultrashort pulses and low-noise frequency combs with gigaher…
Interplay of Polarization and Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Synchronously Pumped Ring Resonators
Francois Copie, Michael T. M. Woodley, Leonardo Del Bino +3
Optically induced breaking of symmetries plays an important role in nonlinear photonics, with applications ranging from optical switching in integrated photonic circuits to soliton…
Microresonator Isolators and Circulators Based on the Intrinsic Nonreciprocity of the Kerr Effect
Leonardo Del Bino, Jonathan M. Silver, Michael T. M. Woodley +3
Nonreciprocal light propagation is important in many applications, ranging from optical telecommunications to integrated photonics. A simple way to achieve optical nonreciprocity i…
