Dynamics of hexagonal patterns in a self-focusing Kerr cavity.

چکیده
In this paper we analyze in detail the secondary bifurcations of stationary hexagonal patterns in a prototype model of nonlinear optics. Hexagonal pattern solutions with all allowed wave numbers are computed and their linear stability is studied by means of a Bloch analysis. Depending on the wave number of the selected pattern we predict and numerically observe phase instabilities, amplitude instabilities, both stationary and oscillatory, and oscillatory finite wavelength bifurcations. The results presented here illustrate a typical bifurcation scenario for patterns with different wave numbers in self-focusing systems.

Polarization patterns in Kerr Media
We study spatiotemporal pattern formation associated with the polarization degree of freedom of the electric eld amplitude in a mean eld model describing a Kerr medium in a cavity with at mirrors and driven by a coherent plane-wave eld. We consider linearly as well as elliptically polarized driving eld and situations of self-focusing and self-defocusing. For the case of self-defocusing and line...
متن کاملInfluence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals
In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...
متن کاملPatterns arising from the interaction between scalar and vectorialinstabilities in two - photon resonant
We study pattern formation associated with the polarization degree of freedom of the electric eld amplitude in a mean eld model describing a nonlin-ear Kerr medium close to a two-photon resonance, placed inside a ring cavity with at mirrors and driven by a coherent ^ x-polarized plane-wave eld. In the self-focusing case, for negative detunings the pattern arises naturally from a codimension two...

We study pattern formation associated with the polarization degree of freedom of the electric field amplitude in a mean field model describing a nonlinear Kerr medium close to a two-photon resonance, placed inside a ring cavity with flat mirrors and driven by a coherent x-polarized plane-wave field. In the self-focusing case, for negative detunings the pattern arises naturally from a codimensio...
متن کاملSelf-organization, Pattern Formation, Cavity Solitons and Rogue Waves in Singly Resonant Optical Parametric Oscillators
Spatio-temporal dynamics of singly resonant optical parametric oscillators with external seeding displays hexagonal, roll and honeycomb patterns, optical turbulence, rogue waves and cavity solitons. We derive appropriate mean-field equations with a sinc nonlinearity and demonstrate that offresonance seeding is necessary and responsible for the formation of complex spatial structures via selforg...
