Computational Physics Applied to Photonic Devices
Gian-Luca Oppo
We all know that the first laser device was realised by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Labs in 1960. Less known is that the very first computer simulations of the relaxation oscillation…
Theory and Application of Cavity Solitons in Photonic Devices
Gian-Luca Oppo, William J. Firth
Driven optical cavities containing a nonlinear medium support stable dissipative solitons, cavity solitons, in the form of bright or dark spots of light on a uniformly-lit backgrou…
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…
Controlled light distribution with coupled microresonator chains via Kerr symmetry breaking
Alekhya Ghosh, Arghadeep Pal, Lewis Hill +7
Within optical microresonators, the Kerr interaction of photons can lead to symmetry breaking of optical modes. In a ring resonator, this leads to the interesting effect that light…
Symmetry Broken Vectorial Kerr Frequency Combs from Fabry-Pérot Resonators
Lewis Hill, Eva-Maria Hirmer, Graeme Campbell +4
Optical frequency combs find many applications in metrology, frequency standards, communications and photonic devices. We consider field polarization properties and describe a vect…
Dark solitons in Fabry-Perot resonators with Kerr media and normal dispersion
Graeme Neil Campbell, Lewis Hill, Pascal Del'Haye +1
Ranges of existence and stability of dark cavity-soliton stationary states in a Fabry-Perot resonator with a Kerr nonlinear medium and normal dispersion are determined. The Fabry-P…
