Parametric instability in coupled nonlinear microcavities
N. Carlon Zambon, S. R. K. Rodriguez, A. Lemaitre +7
We report the observation of a parametric instability in the out-of-equilibrium steady state of two coupled Kerr microresonators coherently driven by a laser. Using a resonant exci…
Orbital angular momentum bistability in a microlaser
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Philippe St-Jean, Aristide Lemaître +6
Light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) is an unbounded degree of freedom emerging in helical beams that appears very advantageous technologically. Using a chiral microlaser, i.e. a…
Non-reciprocity and zero reflection in nonlinear cavities with tailored loss
S. R. K. Rodriguez, V. Goblot, N. Carlon Zambon +2
We demonstrate how to tailor the losses of nonlinear cavities in order to suppress their reflection and enhance their non-reciprocal transmission. We derive analytical expressions…
Optically controlling the emission chirality of microlasers
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Philippe St-Jean, Marijana Milićević +10
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) carried by helical light beams is an unbounded degree of freedom of photons that offers a promising playground in modern photonics. So far, integrate…
