Build‐Up of dissipative optical soliton molecules via diverse soliton interactions

J Peng, H Zeng - Laser & Photonics Reviews, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Solitons can form bound states that are frequently referred to as soliton molecules as they
exhibit molecule‐like dynamics. The build‐up phase of the optical soliton molecule remains …

Parametrically driven Kerr cavity solitons

N Englebert, F De Lucia, P Parra-Rivas, CM Arabí… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com

Observations of spatiotemporal instabilities of temporal cavity solitons

M Anderson, F Leo, S Coen, M Erkintalo, SG Murdoch - Optica, 2016 - opg.optica.org
Temporal cavity solitons (CSs) are pulses of light that can persist in coherently driven
passive resonators, such as fiber ring resonators and monolithic microresonators. It has …

Temporal localized structures in optical resonators

S Barland, S Coen, M Erkintalo, M Giudici… - … in Physics: X, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
We review recent advances on temporal localized structures in optical resonators. Because
they can be individually addressed, localized structures may be used as elementary …

Coexistence of multiple nonlinear states in a tristable passive Kerr resonator

M Anderson, Y Wang, F Leo, S Coen, M Erkintalo… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS

physics, including bistability, pattern formation, and localized dissipative structures …

“Periodic” soliton explosions in a dual-wavelength mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser

M Liu, TJ Li, AP Luo, WC Xu, ZC Luo - Photonics Research, 2020 - opg.optica.org
We report the “periodic” soliton explosions induced by intracavity soliton collisions in a dual-
wavelength mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser. Owing to the different group velocities of the …

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and trapping of temporal Kerr cavity solitons by pulsed or amplitude-modulated driving fields
