Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is key for our understanding of phase transitions and the spontaneous emergence of order. Photonics provide versatile systems to study SSB. In this work, we report that for a two-dimensional (2D) periodic…

We extend the well-known theoretical treatment of the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in two-component systems, combining linear coupling and self-attractive nonlinearity, to a system in which the linear coupling competes with repulsive…
