Crescent waves in optical cavities.
We theoretically and experimentally generate stationary crescent surface solitons pinged to the boundary of a microstructured vertical cavity surface emission laser by triggering the intrinsic cavity mode as a background potential. Instead of a direct transition from linear to nonlinear cavity modes, we demonstrate the existence of symmetry-breaking crescent waves without any analogs in the lin...
متن کاملDynamical Tunneling in Optical Cavities
The lifetime of whispering gallery modes in a dielectric cavity with a metallic inclusion is shown to fluctuate by orders of magnitude when size and location of the inclusion are varied. We ascribe these fluctuations to tunneling transitions between resonances quantized in different regions of phase space. This interpretation is confirmed by a comparison of the classical phase space structure w...
متن کاملAsymmetric Resonant Optical Cavities
A new and useful type of optical resonator has been proposed based on the principles of chaos [1]. The asymmetric resonant cavity (ARC) is an extension of the concept of spherical or cylindrical dielectric resonators which have high-Q ”whispering gallery” (WG) modes trapped by total internal reflection [2]. In the ARC such a cylinder or sphere is deformed substantially but in a smooth and conve...
متن کاملObservation and analysis of coherent optical waves emitted from large-Fresnel number degenerate cavities.
We demonstrate that the coherent optical waves emitted from large-Fresnel-number degenerate cavities persistently display a sort of salient intensity variations. We use the representation of the coherent states to explore the origin of the salient intensity variations and find that these coherent laser waves arise from a quadrature superposition of two degenerate coherent states. With the analy...
متن کاملoptomechanics of deformable optical cavities
The optomechanics of deformable optical cavities has seen a recent surge of interest. Research in this field, which started about 40 years ago, was and still largely remains driven by questions relating to the physics of measurements at the quantum fundamental limit. Good examples of this are the theoretical proposals formulated in the 1990s to perform quantum nondemolition measurements of the ...
