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…
Quantum correlations, mixed states and bistability at the onset of lasing
Francesco Papoff, Mark Anthony Carroll, Gian Luca Lippi +2
We derive a model for a single mode laser that includes all two particle quantum correlations between photons and electrons. In contrast to the predictions of semi-classical models…
