Bilateral symmetry breaking in a nonlinear Fabry-Perot cavity exhibiting optical tristability
Juan P. Torres, Jack Boyce, Raymond Y. Chiao
We show the existence of a region in the parameter space that defines the field dynamics in a Fabry-Perot cylindrical cavity, where three output stable stationary states of the lig…
Observation of Nonlinear Mode in a Cylindrical Fabry-Perot Cavity
Jack Boyce, Juan P. Torres, Raymond Y. Chiao
We report the first observation of a nonlinear mode in a cylindrical nonlinear Fabry-Perot cavity. The field enhancement from cavity buildup, as well as the large chi3 optical nonl…
Bogoliubov dispersion relation and the possibility of superfluidity for weakly-interacting photons in a 2D photon fluid
Raymond Y. Chiao, Jack Boyce
The Bogoliubov dispersion relation for the elementary excitations of the weakly-interacting Bose gas is shown to hold for the case of the weakly-interacting photon gas (the ``photo…
A Transverse Oscillation Arising From Spatial Soliton Formation in Nonlinear Optical Cavities
Jack Boyce, Raymond Y. Chiao
A new type of transverse instability in dispersively nonlinear optical cavities, called the optical whistle, is discussed. This instability occurs in the mean-field, soliton formin…
