"Talking" Vector Solitons and their Polarization Conformity in Fabry-Pérot Cavities

Abstract

Optical frequency combs are applicable across many fields, especially in metrology. Through accounting for field polarization, the spontaneous symmetry breaking of vector temporal cavity solitons and combs in Kerr Fabry–Perot resonators is presented. This work can improve the generation of frequency combs through its control on the maximum number of soliton-pairs in a round trip and reveals the interesting phe-nomenon of dominant polarization conformity across all soliton-pairs in the cavity.
