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 ...

Hybrid lithium niobate-on-silicon nitride platform for mid-IR supercontinuum generation

Tobias Kippenberg, Mikhail Churaev

Integrated optics has shown itself very convenient for exploiting nonlinear processes as it results in high confinement factor, freedom of dispersion engineering and compactness. However, the choice of materials is crucial for the development of nonlinear ...

Weakly nonlinear evolution of stochastically driven non-normal systems

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière

We consider nonlinear dynamical systems driven by stochastic forcing. It has been largely evidenced in the literature that the linear response of non-normal systems (e.g. fluid flows) may exhibit a large variance amplification, even in a linearly stable re ...

Zero dispersion Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Miles Henry Anderson, Wenle Weng, 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 ...

Automatic locking of a parametrically resonating, base-excited, nonlinear beam

Amit Yedidia Dolev

Described is a closed-loop control scheme capable of stabilizing a parametrically excited nonlinear structure in several vibration modes. By setting the relative phase between the spatially filtered response and the excitation, the open-loop unstable solut ...

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

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

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 ...

Heteronuclear soliton molecules in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Tobias Herr, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng

Optical soliton molecules are bound states of solitons that arise from the balance between attractive and repulsive effects. Having been observed in systems ranging from optical fibres to mode-locked lasers, they provide insights into the fundamental inter ...

Improving sound absorption through nonlinear active electroacoustic resonators

Hervé Lissek, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Xinxin Guo

Absorbing airborne noise at frequencies below 300 Hz is a particularly vexing problem due to the absence of natural sound absorbing materials at these frequencies. The prevailing solution for low-frequency sound absorption is the use of passive narrow-band ...

Turbulent patterns in wall-bounded shear flows: invariant solutions and their bifurcations

Florian Reetz

When laminar shear flows in large wall-bounded domains transition to turbulence, the flow exhibits spatio-temporally chaotic dynamics. Despite its chaotic dynamics, the flow may self-organize into characteristic spatially periodic patterns of unknown origi ...
