Dissipative solitons are self-localized structures that can persist indefinitely in open systems
driven out of equilibrium. They play a key role in photonics, underpinning technologies from …

Compact, low-noise microwave sources are required throughout a wide range of application
areas including frequency metrology, wireless-communications and airborne radar systems …

Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical
systems from BEC to hydrodynamics, and fall into two separate classes: bright solitons …

Temporal cavity solitons are optical pulses that can persist in passive resonators, such as
microresonators and fiber-based resonators. They can preserve their shape and energy …

External driving of passive, nonlinear optical resonators has emerged over the past decade
as a novel route for the generation of ultrashort optical pulses and corresponding broadband …

Driven Kerr nonlinear optical resonators can sustain localized structures known as
dissipative Kerr cavity solitons, which have recently attracted significant attention as the …

We investigate experimentally and theoretically a system ruled by an intricate interplay
between topology, nonlinearity, and spontaneous symmetry breaking. The experiment is …

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 …

We report on experimental observations of coexistence and interactions between nonlinear
states with different polarizations in a passive Kerr resonator driven at a single carrier …

We theoretically and experimentally investigate the formation of dissipative coherent
structures in Kerr nonlinear optical microresonators, whose spectrum encompasses an …
