title = "Spontaneous symmetry breaking, oscillations, and chaotic regimes in bidirectionally-pumped ring resonators",
abstract = "Spontaneous symmetry breaking has been recently demonstrated experimentally in bidirectionally-pumped dielectric microresonators [1,2]. This process is mediated by cross-phase modulation due to the Kerr nonlinearity. We present comprehensive analytical and dynamical models for this symmetry breaking, with novel results in both time-dependent and time-independent cases, including chaos. The time-dependent system is described by the following pair of dimensionless coupled equations: (Equation presented) wherein ē1,2 are the (clockwise or counterclockwise) electric field amplitudes sent to the cavity, e1,2 are the (clockwise or counterclockwise) electric field amplitudes coupled into the cavity, and ∆ is the normalised detuning of the laser with respect to the non-Kerr-shifted cavity resonant frequency.",
