Soliton self-excitation under pulsed driving in a Kerr resonator

Matthew Macnaughtan, Zongda Li, Yiqing Xu +5

We present a novel regime of cavity soliton excitation in a Kerr resonator driven by a train of desynchronised pulses. In this regime, the soliton solution is shown to be the sole…

Polarization faticons: Chiral localized structures in self-defocusing Kerr resonators

Erwan Lucas, Gang Xu, Pengxiang Wang +9

We report on numerical predictions and experimental observations of a novel type of temporal localized dissipative structures that manifest themselves in the self-defocusing regime…

Coherent Ising Machine Based on Polarization Symmetry Breaking in a Driven Kerr Resonator

Liam Quinn, Yiqing Xu, Julien Fatome +4

Time-multiplexed networks of degenerate optical parametric oscillators have demonstrated remarkable success in simulating coupled Ising spins, thus providing a promising route to s…

Continuous wave driving elucidates the desynchronisation dynamics of ultrashort dissipative Raman solitons generated in dispersive Kerr resonators

Zongda Li, Yiqing Xu, Stéphane Coen +2

Phase-coherent pulsed driving of passive optical fiber resonators enable the generation of ultrashort dissipative Raman solitons with durations well below 100~fs. The existence and…
