Self-Pulsing and Chaos in Kerr-Nonlinear Coupled Ring Resonators

Paper in proceedings (conference paper)

en

We investigate the dynamics of nonlinear resonant structures consisting of two coupled ring resonators. The time evolution of the system is modeled by difference-differential equations that take into account non-instantaneous Kerr response and the effect of loss. We demonstrate transitions from stable states to periodic (self-pulsing) and chaotic states. We identify parameters that can significantly affect onset and period of self-pulsing solutions.
