Inverse reconstruction of dissipative Kerr soliton interactions
Carlo Silvestri, Panayotis G. Kevrekidis, Stephane Coen +2
We reconstruct the pairwise interaction potential between dissipative Kerr solitons from the linear stability spectrum of a perfect soliton crystal solution of the Lugiato--Lefever…

We consider the motion of a light sail that is accelerated by a powerful laser beam. We derive the equations of motion for two proof-of-concept sail designs with damped internal de…
Omnidirectional field enhancements drive giant nonlinearities in epsilon-near-zero waveguides
Gordon H. Y. Li, C. Martijn de Sterke, Alessandro Tuniz
Bulk materials possessing a relative electric permittivity close to zero exhibit giant Kerr nonlinearities. However, harnessing this response in guided-wave geometrie…
