In this paper, the research related to the formation of optical dissipative structures in Kerr-nonlinear whispering-gallery mode resonators pumped with continuous-wave lasers is reviewed. Pattern formation in these systems can be analysed using the paradigmatic Lugiato–Lefever model, which is a partial differential equation ruling the dynamics of the intra-cavity laser field. Various dissipative structures such as Turing rolls, solitons, breathers and spatio-temporal chaos can emerge in the resonator depending on the laser power and frequency. The bifurcation analysis enables a classification of these patterns, and also permits identification of their basins of attraction. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Dissipative structures in matter out of equilibrium: from chemistry, photonics and biology (part 1)’.

AbstractWe present investigation of Petermann I and II spot sizes in the presence of Kerr nonlinearity. Our study is based on the simple power series formulation for fundamental modal field of single-mode-graded index fiber developed by Chebyshev formalism. Based on the said power series expression in the absence of nonlinearity, analytical expressions of the said spot sizes can be prescribed. Using the analytical expressions of the said spot sizes in the absence of nonlinearity, we apply iterative technique in order to predict the said propagation characteristics in presence of Kerr nonlinearity. In this context, we choose some typical single-mode step and parabolic index fibers. We show that the our results agree excellently with the exact results which can be obtained by using rigorous finite-element technique. This leads to verification of accuracy of our simple technique. Moreover, evaluation of the concerned parameters by our formalism involves little computation. Thus, our method provides an accurate but simple alternative to the existing rigorous methods in this context. Accordingly, this novel and simple formalism will prove user friendly to the system engineers in the field non linear optics.
