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…
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…
Dissipative polarization domain walls in a passive driven Kerr resonator
Bruno Garbin, Julien Fatome, Gian-Luca Oppo +3
Using a passive driven nonlinear optical fiber ring resonator, we report the experimental realization of dissipative polarization domain walls. The domain walls arise through a sym…
Impact of de-synchronization and drift on soliton-based Kerr frequency combs in the presence of pulsed driving fields
Ian Hendry, Bruno Garbin, Stuart G. Murdoch +2
Pulsed driving of Kerr microresonators represents a promising avenue for the efficient generation of soliton states associated with coherent optical frequency combs. The underlying…
Asymmetric balance in symmetry breaking
Bruno Garbin, Julien Fatome, Gian-Luca Oppo +3
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is central to our understanding of physics and explains many natural phenomena, from cosmic scales to subatomic particles. Its use for applications re…
