Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in a nonlinear microresonator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate experimentally spontaneous chirality in a whispering-gallery microresonator. Above an input threshold, the intensities of clockwise and counterclockwise propagating waves grow unbalanced, due to the Kerr-nonlinearity-modulated coupling between the counter-propagating waves.
