Dissipative modulation instability in a nonlinear dispersive ring cavity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the modulational instability in a synchronously pumped nonlinear dispersive ring cavity and derived the formation of stable temporal dissipative structures for both the normal and anomalous dispersion regime of the fiber.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern formation and competition in nonlinear optics
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of different experimental situations is presented, including a discussion on suitable indicators which characterize the different regimes, and a view on perspective new phenomena and applications include an extension to atom optics.

Fundamentals and Applications of Spatial Dissipative Solitons in Photonic Devices
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of optical spatial dissipative solitons (SDS) are discussed and compared in both ideal and imperfect systems, making comparison with experiments, and an assessment of potential applications of SDS in photonics is made by exploiting their particular features.

Pattern formation in a passive Kerr cavity
Andrew J. Scroggie,William J. Firth,Graham S. McDonald,Mustapha Tlidi,René Lefever,Luigi A. Lugiato +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mean field equation with plane-wave excitation and diffraction is assumed, and an analytical and numerical investigation of a cavity containing a Kerr medium is reported, where stable hexagons are dominant close to threshold for a self-focusing medium.

Optical Pattern Formation
TL;DR: The field of optical pattern formation (OPF) studies the spatial and spatio-temporal phenomena that arise in the structure of electromagnetic field in the planes orthogonal with respect to the direction of propagation as mentioned in this paper.
