Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments

The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...

Antiferromagnetic droplet soliton driven by spin current

Mohammad Hamdi

We demonstrate that a spin current flowing through a nanocontact into a uniaxial antiferromagnet with first- and second-order anisotropy can excite a self-localized dynamic magnetic soliton, known as a spin-wave droplet in ferromagnets. The droplet nucleat ...

Generalised Kerr Microcomb Physics in Synchronously Driven Systems

Miles Henry Anderson

In this thesis, the generation of microcombs under complex, non-trivial, and/or higher-order cavity conditions is explored, both in theory & simulation, and in practical experimentation. Pulse-driving of microresonators is investigated for the generation ...

Mean flow modeling in high-order nonlinear Schrodinger equations

Debbie Eeltink

The evaluation and consideration of the mean flow in wave evolution equations are necessary for the accurate prediction of fluid particle trajectories under wave groups, with relevant implications in several domains, from the transport of pollutants in the ...

Soliton Generation in a Gallium Phosphide Photonic-Crystal Fabry-Perot Microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Nikolai Kuznetsov, Alisa Davydova, Miles Henry Anderson, Alberto Nardi

Ring resonators have proven to be extremely successful for generation of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons, but their dispersion engineering is limited. We present a photonic-crystal Fabry-Perot resonator with record-high quality factors in gallium phosph ...

Zero dispersion Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Miles Henry Anderson, Alexey Tikan

Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical systems from BEC to hydrodynamics, and fall into two separate classes: bright solitons existing in anomalous group velocity dispersion, and switching waves forming 'dark ...

Multipolar Modeling of Spatially Dispersive Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Ville Tuovi Tiukuvaara

There is today a growing need to accurately model the angular scattering response of metasurfaces for optical analog processing applications. However, the current metasurface modeling techniques are not well suited for such a task since they are limited to ...

Collective dynamics in nonlinear resonators coupled in spatial and synthetic dimensions

Tobias Kippenberg, Aleksandr Tusnin, Alexey Tikan

We theoretically investigate chaotic and stable structures in coupled-resonator chains and synthetic frequency dimension influenced by Kerr nonlinearity, thereby bringing insights in the emerging field of soliton generation in chains and lattices of high-Q ...

Dissipative Kerr solitons in a photonic dimer on both sides of exceptional point

Tobias Kippenberg, Hairun Guo, Mikhail Churaev, Aleksandr Tusnin, Alexey Tikan, Kenichi Komagata

Exceptional points are a ubiquitous concept widely present in driven-dissipative coupled systems described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. To date, exceptional points have been extensively examined in the systems supporting only a few optical modes, thereb ...

Emergent nonlinear phenomena in a driven dissipative photonic dimer

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Hairun Guo, Mikhail Churaev, Junqiu Liu, Alexey Tikan, Kenichi Komagata

Collective effects leading to spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium cannot be described at the single-particle level and are therefore often called emergent phenomena. They are characte ...
