We show experimentally the existence of bright and dark spatial solitons in a passive quantum-well-semiconductor resonator of large Fresnel number. For the wavelength of observation the nonlinearity is mixed absorptive/defocusing. Bright…
We find that hexagonal structures forming in semiconductor resonators can range from coherent patterns to arrangements of loosely bound spatial solitons, which can be individually switched. Such incoherent arrangements are stabilized by…
Spatial solitons can exist in various kinds of nonlinear optical resonators with and without amplification. In the past years different types of these localized structures such as vortices, bright, dark solitons and phase solitons have been…
Semiconductor $p^+ - p^- - n - p^+ - n^{++}$ structures with large junction and contact areas are treated as 1 \times 2-dimensional active media, in which self-organized pattern formation can be expected. The local bistable behavior of the…
The oscillatory response of nonlinear systems exhibits characteristic phenomena such as multistability, discontinuous jumps and hysteresis. These can be utilized in applications leading, e.g., to precise frequency measurement, mixing,…
We report the first experimental observation of multi-stable states in a single-longitudinal mode semiconductor ring laser. We show how the operation of the device can be steered to either monostable, bistable or multi-stable dynamical…
We analyze the existence, stability, and propagation of dissipative discrete localized modes in one- and two-dimensional nonlinear lattices composed of weakly coupled split-ring resonators (SRRs) excited by an external electromagnetic…
The book is devoted to the formation and dynamics of localized structures (vortices, solitons) and extended patterns (stripes, hexagons, tilted waves) in nonlinear optical resonators such as lasers, optical parametric oscillators, and…
We study the dynamics of a pair of nonlinear split-ring resonators (a `metadimer') excited by an alternating magnetic field and coupled magnetically. Linear metadimers of this kind have been recently used as the elementary components for…
We describe experiments testing the existence and investigating the properties of spatial solitons in nonlinear resonators. We investigate the properties of stationary and moving spatial solitons in lasers with saturable absorber, with a…
Localized wave fronts are a fundamental feature of biological systems from cell biology to ecology. Here, we study a broad class of bistable models subject to self-activation, degradation and spatially inhomogeneous activating agents. We…
We demonstrate experimentally and numerically the existence spatial solitons in multiple-quantum-well semiconductor microresonators driven by an external coherent optical field. We discuss stability of the semiconductor-resonator solitons…
We study the vibrational motion of membrane resonators upon strong drive in the strongly nonlinear regime. By imaging the vibrational state of rectangular siliconnitride membrane resonators and by analyzing the frequency response using…
We study temporally localized structures in doubly resonant degenerate optical parametric oscillators in the absence of temporal walk-off. We focus on states formed through the locking of domain walls between the zero and a non-zero…
We investigate stationary, spatially localized patterns in lattice dynamical systems that exhibit bistability. The profiles associated with these patterns have a long plateau where the pattern resembles one of the bistable states, while the…
Localized patterns are coherent structures embedded in a quiescent state and occur in both discrete and continuous media across a wide range of applications. While it is well-understood how domain covering patterns (for example stripes and…
In this paper, we investigate a resonant system comprising $N$ closely packed spherical resonators ($N>2$). We analyze how the spatial arrangement of these resonators influences the distribution of resonant frequencies, focusing on…
As a model of coupled nano-electromechanical resonantors we study two nonlinear driven oscillators with an arbitrary coupling strength between them. Analytical expressions are derived for the oscillation amplitudes as a function of the…
We study the emergence and the stability of temporal localized structures in the output of a semiconductor laser passively mode-locked by a saturable absorber in the long cavity regime. For large yet realistic values of the linewidth…
We demonstrate experimentally the bistable nature of the bright spatial solitons in a semiconductor microresonator and show that they can be created and destroyed by incoherent local optical injection.
