The Effect of Instantaneous Noise Injection on the Behavior of Dissipative Kerr Solitons in a Fiber Kerr Resonator

Abstract

We numerically investigated the behavior of dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) in fiber Kerr resonators when random noise fields are suddenly applied to the system. Simulation results based on an iterative computation of an Ikeda-map-like equation system show the first observation of the annihilation and excitation of DKS under the stimulation of the noise with different intensities. Switching among different states of DKSs triggered by high amplitude noise is observed. These results have confirmed the robustness of DKSs against noise perturbations and provide new insights into the DKS dynamics in Kerr resonators, thus opening a new way to achieve different DKS states in fiber Kerr resonators.
