Arcsine Laws of Light
V. G. Ramesh, K. J. H. Peters, S. R. K. Rodriguez
We demonstrate that light in a coherently driven resonator obeys Lévy's arcsine laws -- a cornerstone of extreme value statistics. This behavior emerges asymptotically in the time-…
Limit Cycles and Chaos Induced by a Nonlinearity with Memory
K. J. H. Peters, S. R. K. Rodriguez
Inspired by the observation of a distributed time delay in the nonlinear response of an optical resonator, we investigate the effects of a similar delay on a noise-driven mechanica…
Stochastic light in a cavity: A Brownian particle in a scalar potential?
J. Busink, P. Ackermans, K. G. Cognee +1
The non-equilibrium dynamics of stochastic light in a coherently-driven nonlinear cavity resembles the equilibrium dynamics of a Brownian particle in a scalar potential. This resem…
Fano lineshapes and Rabi splittings: Can they be artificially generated or obscured by the numerical aperture?
Zhoumuyan Geng, Johanna Theenhaus, Biplab K. Patra +4
Fano resonances and Rabi splittings are routinely reported in the scientific literature. Asymmetric resonance lineshapes are usually associated with Fano resonances, and two split…
Thermo-optical dynamics of a nonlinear GaInP photonic crystal nanocavity depend on the optical mode profile
Karindra Perrier, Sebastiaan Greveling, Hilbrand Wouters +6
We measure the dynamics of the thermo-optical nonlinearity of both a mode-gap nanocavity and a delocalized mode in a GaInP photonic crystal memb…

We report the observation of a parametric instability in the out-of-equilibrium steady state of two coupled Kerr microresonators coherently driven by a laser. Using a resonant exci…
Universal power law decay in the dynamic hysteresis of an optical cavity with non-instantaneous photon-photon interactions
Z. Geng, K. J. H. Peters, A. A. P. Trichet +4
We investigate, experimentally and theoretically, the dynamic optical hysteresis of a coherently driven cavity with non-instantaneous photon-photon interactions. By scanning the fr…
Enhancing the speed and sensitivity of a nonlinear optical sensor with noise
Said R. K. Rodriguez
We demonstrate how noise can be turned into an advantage for optical sensing using a nonlinear cavity. The cavity is driven by a continuous wave laser into the regime of optical bi…
Probing a dissipative phase transition via dynamical optical hysteresis
S. R. K. Rodriguez, W. Casteels, F. Storme +8
We experimentally explore the dynamic optical hysteresis of a semiconductor microcavity as a function of the sweep time. The hysteresis area exhibits a double power law decay due t…
Plasmon-Exciton-Polariton Lasing
Mohammad Ramezani, Alexei Halpin, Antonio I. Fernández-Domínguez +4
Metallic nanostructures provide a toolkit for the generation of coherent light below the diffraction limit. Plasmonic based lasing relies on the population inversion of emitters (s…
Interaction-induced hopping phase in driven-dissipative coupled photonic microcavities
S. R. K. Rodriguez, A. Amo, I. Sagnes +4
Bosons hopping across sites and interacting on-site are the essence of the Bose-Hubbard model (BHM). Inspired by the success of BHM simulators with atoms in optical lattices, propo…
