Abstract [en]

The formation of frequency combs (FCs) in high-Q microresonators with Kerr type of nonlinearity has attracted a lot of attention in the past decade [1]. Recently it has been shown that FCs can be also generated in dissipative dispersive cavities with quadratic nonlinearities [2,3], opening a new possibility of generating combs in previously unattainable spectral regions. Previous work has shown that modulational instability (MI) induces pattern and FC formation in degenerate optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) [4]. However, the existence of dissipative solitons or localized structures (LSs) is still unclear. In this work we present the locking of domain walls (DWs) as an alternative mechanism to MI for the formation of LSs and FCs. DWs have been widely studied in the context of Kerr cavities and diffractive OPO cavities [5,6]. Here we show that similar structures can arise in dispersive quadratic cavities. To illustrate this, we consider a dispersive cavity with a quadratic medium phase matched for degenerate OPO and driven by the field B in at the frequency 2ω 0 in a doubly resonant configuration. The formation of dissipative structures in this type of cavity can be described by an infinite map for the slowly varying electric field envelopes A m , and B m , that are centered at frequency ω 0 and 2ω 0 , respectively [4], where m indicates the cavity round-trip number. With this map one may numerically explore the dynamics of the system. For example, Fig. 1(a)-(b) show the formation of a dissipative structure, after a sufficient number of round-trips (m = 2 · 10 4 ), from an initial noisy background. We see that i) both fields are phase locked and drift at the same velocity; ii) for the A field one can identify a sequence of DWs connecting two different, and coexisting, CW states, that form a disordered structure. Furthermore, the latter is composed of a sequence of LSs of different widths. One of them, LS 4 , is plotted in panel (c). We demonstrate that this ty...
