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:
