Symmetry breaking in laser cavities (1504.07943v1)

Published 29 Apr 2015 in physics.optics, cond-mat.quant-gas, and nlin.PS

Abstract: A brief introduction to the topic of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in conservative and dissipative nonlinear systems with an underlying double-well-potential structure is given. The reason is a discussion of a recent observation of the SSB a dual-core nanolaser cavity [5]. The effect is illustrated by means of a simple semi-analytically-tractable model (Fig. 1).
