Dynamics of Optically Injected Kerr Gires-Tournois Interferometers

In this work we show that a high finesse Fabry-Perot micro-cavity containing a Kerr medium, coupled to a external cavity and in presence of optical injection can give rise to phase-locked temporal dissipative solitons. These Localized Structures (LSs) may possess a strongly asymmetrical oscillating tail which is the result of Third Order Dispersion induced by the cavity. Dispersion is found to induce soliton molecules and tunable Frequency Combs. Because of the external locking to the injection field, the LSs are phase coherent with each other, and could be used for interferometric applications.
