Dissipative Kerr solitons, breathers, and chimera states in coherently driven passive cavities with parabolic potential

We analyze the stability and dynamics of dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) in the presence of a parabolic potential. This potential stabilizes oscillatory and chaotic regimes, favoring the generation of static DKSs. Furthermore, the potential induces the emergence of new dissipative structures, such as asymmetric breathers and chimera-like states. Based on a mode decomposition of these states, we unveil the underlying modal interactions. (C) 2022 Optica Publishing Group

Automated summary

This study analyzes the stability and dynamics of dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) in the presence of a parabolic potential. The potential stabilizes oscillatory and chaotic regimes, promoting the generation of static DKSs. Additionally, the potential induces the emergence of new dissipative structures, such as asymmetric breathers and chimera-like states. By decomposing these states into modes, the underlying modal interactions are revealed.
