4-Dimensional Symmetry Breaking of Light in Kerr Ring Resonators
Lewis Hill, Pascal Del Haye, Gian-Luca Oppo
Symmetry breaking of light states is of interest for the understanding of nonlinear optics, photonic circuits, telecom applications and optical pulse generation. Here we demonstrat…
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…
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…
