Robust three-dimensional high-order solitons and breathers in driven dissipative systems: a Kerr cavity realization
Yifan Sun, Pedro Parra-Rivas, Carles Milian +7
We present a general approach to excite robust dissipative three-dimensional and high-order solitons and breathers in passively driven nonlinear cavities. Our findings are illustra…
Quartic Kerr cavity combs: Bright and dark solitons
Pedro Parra-Rivas, Sabrina Hetzel, Yaroslav V. Kartashov +4
We theoretically investigate the dynamics, bifurcation structure and stability of localized states in Kerr cavities driven at the pure fourth-order dispersion point. Both the norma…
Robust ultrashort light bullets in strongly twisted waveguide arrays
Carles Milián, Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Lluis Torner
We introduce a new class of stable light bullets that form in twisted waveguide arrays pumped withultrashort pulses, where twisting offers a powerful knob to tune the properties of…
Clusters of cavity solitons bounded by conical radiation
Carles Milian, Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Dmitry V. Skryabin +1
We introduce a new class of self-sustained states, which may exist as single solitons or form multisoliton clusters, in driven passive cylindrical microresonators. Remarkably, such…
Cavity solitons in a microring dimer with gain and loss
Carles Milian, Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Dmitry V. Skryabin +1
We address a pair of vertically coupled microring resonators with gain and loss pumped by a single-frequency field. Coupling between microrings results in a twofold splitting of th…
Bound states in the continuum in a two-dimensional PT-symmetric system
Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Carles Milian, Vladimir V. Konotop +1
We address a two-dimensional parity-time (PT)-symmetric structure built as a chain of waveguides, where all waveguides except for the central one are conservative, while the centra…
Existence and Switching Behavior of Bright and Dark Kerr Solitons in Whispering-Gallery Mode Resonators with Zero Group-Velocity Dispersion
Jimmi H. Talla Mbé, Carles Milián, Yanne K. Chembo
We use the generalized Lugiato-Lefever model to investigate the phenomenon of Kerr optical frequency comb generation when group-velocity dispersion is null. In that case, the first…
Underwater acoustic wave generation by filamentation of terawatt ultrashort laser pulses
Vytautas Jukna, Amelie Jarnac, Carles Milián +9
Acoustic signals generated by filamentation of ultrashort TW laser pulses in water are characterized experimentally. Measurements reveal a strong influence of input pulse duration…
Laser beam self-symmetrization in air in the multifilamentation regime
Carles Milian, Vytautas Jukna, Arnaud Couairon +6
We show experimental and numerical evidence of spontaneous self-symmetrization of focused laser beams experiencing multi-filamentation in air. The symmetrization effect is observed…
Supercontinuum optimization for dual-soliton based light sources using genetic algorithms in a Grid platform
F. R. Arteaga-Sierra, C. Milián, I. Torres-Gómez +3
We present a numerical strategy to design fiber based dual pulse light sources exhibiting two predefined spectral peaks in the anomalous group velocity dispersion regime. The frequ…
Superfilamentation in air
Guillaume Point, Yohann Brelet, Aurélien Houard +6
The interaction between a large number of laser filaments brought together using weak external focusing leads to the emergence of few filamentary structures reminiscent of standard…
