We review the properties of optical spatial dissipative solitons (SDS). These are stable, self‐
localized optical excitations sitting on a uniform, or quasi‐uniform, background in a …

We study pattern formation in a passive nonlinear optical cavity on the basis of the classic
Lugiato-Lefever model with a periodically modulated injection. When the injection amplitude …

Spatial rocking is a kind of resonant forcing able to convert a self-oscillatory system into a
phase-bistable, pattern forming system, whereby the phase of the spatially averaged …

The spatial" rocking" is a dynamical effect converting a phase-invariant oscillatory system
into a phase-bistable one, where the average phase of the system locks to one of two values …

We propose a novel forcing technique of spatially extended self-oscillatory systems able to
excite phase bistability and the dissipative structures associated with it. The forcing is time …

We theoretically investigate optical bistability/multistability for all optical switching signature
in a hybrid semiconductor microcavity system comprising a quantum well and a Kerr …

We explore theoretically the optomechanical interaction between a light field and a
mechanical mode mediated by a Kerr nonlinear medium inside a Fabry-Perot cavity. When …

We theoretically investigate the optomechanical interaction between an optical field and a
mechanical mode mediated by a Kerr nonlinear medium inside an optical cavity and …

We report an experimental method that combines nonlinear-crystal-based transient
detection imaging (TDI) with interferometric complex-field retrieval. The system allows …

We study the effect of a randomly modulated harmonic driving on the phase behavior of a
nonlinear oscillator. A multiple-scale analysis shows that the system is formally equivalent to …
