Spontaneous symmetry breaking of dissipative optical solitons in a two-component Kerr resonator

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of dissipative optical solitons in a two-component Kerr resonator

Dissipative solitons and their symmetry breaking is important for photonic applications. Here the authors show that dissipative solitons can undergo spontaneous symmetry breaking in a two-component nonlinear optical ring resonator, resulting in the coexistence of distinct vectorial solitons with asy...
