Ab initio description of nonlinear dynamics of coupled microdisk resonators with application to self-trapping dynamics
arXiv:1104.2220 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.83.053839
Abstract
Ab initio approach is used to describe the time evolution of the amplitudes of whispering gallery modes in a system of coupled microdisk resonators with Kerr nonlinearity. It is shown that this system demonstrates a transition between Josephson-like nonlinear oscillations and self-trapping behavior. Manifestation of this transition in the dynamics of radiative losses is studied.
