Nonlinear topological symmetry protection in a dissipative system
Stéphane Coen, Bruno Garbin, Gang Xu +6
We report an experimental and theoretical investigation of a system whose dynamics is dominated by an intricate interplay between three key concepts of modern physics: topology, no…
Non-Hermitian zero mode laser in a nanophotonic trimer
Kaiwen Ji, Bruno Garbin, Melissa Hedir +2
Symmetry-protected zero modes in arrays of coupled optical elements have attracted considerable attention because they are expected to be robust against coupling disorders. In the…
Direct observation of zero modes in a non-Hermitian nanocavity array
Flore Hentinger, Melissa Hedir, Bruno Garbin +5
Zero modes are symmetry protected ones whose energy eigenvalues have zero real parts. In Hermitian arrays, they arise as a consequence of the sublattice symmetry, implying that the…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in a coherently driven nanophotonic Bose-Hubbard dimer
B. Garbin, A. Giraldo, K. J. H. Peters +7
We report on the first experimental observation of spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking (SSB) in coherently driven-dissipative coupled optical cavities. SSB is observed as the brea…
Self-symmetrization of symmetry-breaking dynamics in passive Kerr resonators
Julien Fatome, Gang Xu, Bruno Garbin +5
The realization of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) requires a system that exhibits a near perfect symmetry. SSB manifests itself through a pitchfork bifurcation, but that bifur…
Polarization modulation instability in a nonlinear fiber Kerr resonator
Julien Fatome, Bertrand Kibler, François Leo +6
We report on the experimental and numerical observation of polarization modulation instability (PMI) in a nonlinear fiber Kerr resonator. This phenomenon is phased-matched through…
