    This paper reports the results of numerical and experimental investigations of the dynamics of an external cavity diode laser device composed of a semiconductor laser and a distant Bragg grating, which provides an optical feedback. Due to the influence of the feedback, this system can operate at different dynamic regimes. The traveling wave model is used for simulations and analysis of the nonlinear dynamics in the considered laser device. Based on this model, a detailed analysis of the optical modes is performed, and the stability of the stationary states is discussed. It is shown, that the results obtained from the simulation and analysis of the device are in good agreement with experimental findings.

    Multi-stability and polariton formation in microcavity polaritonic waveguides
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Slavcheva, Gabriela; Gorbach, Andrey V.; Pimenov, Alexander; Vladimirov, Andrei G.; Skryabin, Dmitry
    Nonlinear polaritons in microcavity waveguides are demonstrated to exhibit multi-stable behaviour and rich dynamics, including filamentation and soliton formation. We find that the multi-stability originates from co-existense of different transverse modes of the polaritonic waveguide. Modulational stability and conditions for multi-mode polariton solitons are studied. Soliton propagation in tilted, relative to the pump momentum, waveguides is demonstrated and a critical tilt angle for the soliton propagation is found.

    The impact of microcavity wire width on polariton soliton existence and multistability
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Slavcheva, Gabriela; Koleva, Mirella V.; Pimenov, Alexander
    We have developed a model of the nonlinear polariton dynamics in realistic 3D non-planar microcavity wires in the driven-dissipative regime [15]. We find that the typical microcavity optical bistability evolves into multi-stability upon variation of the model parameters. The origin of the multi-stability is discussed in detail. We apply linear perturbation analysis to modulational instabilities, and identify conditions for localisation of composite multi-mode polariton solitons in the triggered parametric oscillator regime. Further, we demonstrate stable polariton soliton propagation in tilted and tapered waveguides, and determine maximum tilt angles for which solitons are still found. Additionally, we study soliton amplitude and velocity dependence on the wire width, with a view towards device applications.
