Abstract

En 中文

Temporal localized states (TLSs) are individually addressable structures traveling in optical resonators. They can be used to obtain bits of information and generate frequency combs with tunable spectral density. We show that a pair of specially designed nonlinear mirrors, a 1/2 vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser and a semiconductor saturable absorber, coupled in self-imaging conditions, can lead to the generation of such TLSs. Our results indicate how a conventional passive mode-locking scheme can be adapted to provide a robust and simple system emitting TLSs and paves the way towards the observation of three dimensional confined states, the so-called light bullets.
