Square wave generation in vertical external-cavity Kerr-Gires-Tournois interferometers

Optics 2022-09-07 v2 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We study theoretically the mechanisms of square-wave (SW) formation in vertical external-cavity Kerr-Gires-Tournois interferometers in presence of anti-resonant injection. We provide simple analytical approximations for their plateau intensities and for the conditions of their emergence. We demonstrate that SWs may appear via a homoclinic snaking scenario, leading to the formation of complex-shaped multistable SW solutions. The resulting SWs can host localized structures and robust bound-states.
