Abstract

Coupled resonator systems have recently gained extensive interest for their ability to control the nonlinear interactions of light. The interplay of linear inter-resonator light scattering and Kerr-nonlinearities make these platforms suitable for tuning dispersion, and controlling soliton dynamics [1]. Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in chirality [2] and polarization [3] of light fields are typically observed in single Kerr-resonators. Coupled resonators can show higher dimensional SSBs [4]–[6]. Here, we examine SSB between counterpropagating homogeneous light fields and soliton states in coupled twin resonator systems.
