The model, that is usually called the Lugiato–Lefever equation (LLE), was introduced in
1987 with the aim of providing a paradigm for dissipative structure and pattern formation in …

Spontaneous symmetry breaking can occur in the powers of two optical modes coupled into
a ring resonator, described by a pair of coupled Lorentzian equations, and featuring tunable …

We report on a systematic study of temporal Kerr cavity soliton dynamics in the presence of
pulsed or amplitude-modulated driving fields. In stark contrast to the more extensively …

In addition to stable pulse generation, passively mode-locked fiber lasers can easily run into
an unstable regime of multipulse mode-locking. The birth and dynamic behaviors of …

Optically induced breaking of symmetries plays an important role in nonlinear photonics,
with applications ranging from optical switching in integrated photonic circuits to soliton …

We show that passive Kerr resonators pumped close to zero dispersion wavelengths on the
normal dispersion side can develop the resonant generation of linear waves driven by cavity …

A synchronously pumped Kerr cavity is proposed and studied for power-efficient frequency
comb generation in optical microring resonators. The system is modeled using the Lugiato …

The LLE was introduced in order to provide a paradigmatic model for spontaneous spatial
pattern formation in the field of nonlinear optics. In the first part of this paper we describe in …

We experimentally observe a spontaneous temporal symmetry breaking instability in a
coherently driven passive optical Kerr resonator. Using a time-symmetric configuration, we …

In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 064103 (2013)], using the Swift-Hohenberg equation, we introduced
a mechanism that allows to generate oscillatory and excitable soliton dynamics. This …
