Abstract
We examine time-domain instabilities in short chains of coupled Kerr-nonlinear resonators. We show that a
large parameter region of self-pulsing or chaotic behavior can be realized. We give a detailed description of the possible states in systems with two and three cavities, using phenomenological coupled-mode equations and rigorous simulations. A particular geometry can exhibit a rich range of dynamics, dependent on input conditions. A clear link with the linear transmission properties is shown. This system complements the studies of the nonlinear Bragg reflector and electrons in a nonlinear lattice. Unlike the Bragg grating case, we observe wide detuning ranges that exhibit self-pulsing without first going through a bistable transition. Related Research Topics
