Soliton blockade in bidirectional microresonators
OAI: oai:purehost.bath.ac.uk:publications/c6d2a92b-4bb8-4062-8451-73bd4e52c613 • DOI: https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.409362
Abstract
We report a method to control, disrupt, and restore a regime of unidirectional soliton generation in a bidirectionally pumped ring microresonator. This control, i.e., the soliton blockade, is achieved by tuning the pump frequency of the counterrotating field. The blockade effect is correlated with the emergence of a dark–bright nonlinear resonance of cw states.
