Petermann-factor sensitivity limit near an exceptional point in a Brillouin ring laser gyroscope

H Wang, YH Lai, Z Yuan, MG Suh, K Vahala - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Exceptional points are singularities of open systems, and among their many remarkable
properties, they provide a way to enhance the responsivity of sensors. Here we show that …

semiconductor ring lasers. A bifurcation from bidirectional stable operation to a regime with …

Large Sagnac frequency splitting in a ring resonator operating at an exceptional point

S Sunada - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
In rotating ring resonators, resonant frequencies are split because of the Sagnac effect. The
rotation sensitivity of the frequency splitting characterizes the sensitivity of resonator-based …

Backscattering-induced dissipative solitons in ring quantum cascade lasers

L Seitner, J Popp, I Heckelmann, RE Vass, B Meng… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
