Time Crystals in Actively Mode-locked Lasers
Ruiling Weng, Elias R. Koch, Jesús Yelo-Sarrión +4
We report the first experimental observation of discrete time-crystal phases and crystallites in an actively mode-locked semiconductor laser. By tuning either the bias current or t…
Thermo-optical spiking and mixed-mode oscillations in injected Kerr microcavities
Elias R. Koch, Julien Javaloyes, Svetlana V. Gurevich
We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of vertically emitting Kerr microcavities under detuned optical injection, considering the impact of slow thermal effects. Our model integrate…
Normal dispersion Kerr cavity solitons: beyond the mean field limit
T. G. Seidel, J. Javaloyes, S. V. Gurevich
We predict the existence of a novel type of temporal localized structure in injected Kerr--Gires--Tournois interferometers (KGTI). These bright pulses exist in the normal dispersio…
Multistable Kuramoto splay states in a crystal of mode-locked laser pulses
T. G. Seidel, A. Bartolo, A. Garnache +4
We demonstrate the existence of a multiplicity of co-existing frequency combs in a harmonically mode-locked laser that we link to the splay phases of the Kuramoto model with short…
