Mode locking by phase-sensitive amplification

Francesco De Lucia, Yifan Sun, Georges Semaan +4

Mode locking is the mechanism by which lasers organize many optical modes into stable trains of ultrashort pulses. It underpins optical frequency combs, precision timing and spectr…

Frequency-Multiplexed Photonic Reservoir Computing with a Synchronously Pulse-Driven Optical Cavity

Amir Arsalan Arabieh, Simon-Pierre Gorza, Serge Massar

In this work, we introduce a new platform for frequency-multiplexed reservoir computing based on an optical cavity driven by pulses whose repetition period is matched to the cavity…

Collective-Coordinate Fluctuations of Driven-Dissipative Solitons

Yifan Sun, Thomas Bunel, Sofya Glazyrina +5

Fluctuations of nonequilibrium localized waves are shaped not only by direct stochastic forcing but also by deterministic transfer among coupled collective degrees of freedom. We d…

Temporal soliton generation in an ultra-high-effective-Q Kerr resonator enabled by Raman gain

Georges Semaan, Yifan Sun, Nicolas Englebert +2

We demonstrate temporal pattern formation in a coherently driven fiber ring cavity whose effective finesse is continuously reconfigured using distributed Raman amplification. We ac…

Cavity Solitons as a Nonlinear Substrate for Photonic Neuromorphic Computing

Amir Arsalan Arabieh, Alessandro Lupo, Simon-Pierre Gorza +1

Reservoir computing leverages nonlinear dynamics of physical systems to process temporal information with minimal training cost. Here, we demonstrate that cavity solitons sustained…

Dissipative solitons in parity-time symmetric laser cavities

Jesús Yelo-Sarrión, François Leo, Simon-Pierre Gorza

The generation of optically coherent ultrashort pulses by mode-locked lasers has revolutionized advancements in modern science and technology. These pulses often arise from the for…
