[IRP WALL-IN] Our last publication accepted in Nature Communications

Nonlinear polarization dynamics in a two-component Kerr-resonator, when the detuning is scanned across a resonance (from bottom to top).

Our paper dealing with the experimental observation of the spontaneous polarization symmetry breaking of dissipative cavity solitons is now published in Nature Communications.

[IRP WALL-IN] Postdeadline paper in CLEO Europe

Typical nonlinear dynamics of the intra-cavity intensity profile obtained in a Kerr-resonator including a sinusoidal phase-modulated lattice, when the detuning is scanned across a resonance (from top to bottom)

Wall-IN has been selected for a postdeadline presentation in the CLEO/EQEC Europe conference 21-25 june 2021. Our paper reports the first direct observation of dissipative temporal cavity solitons in a photonic lattice. It establishes Kerr resonators as an effective and versatile platform to investigate nonlinear dynamics in synthetic frequency dimensions and provides new insights for the manipulation of dissipative temporal structures with potential applications in frequency combs generation and topological photonics. These results have been obtained in collaboration with the ICB laboratory in Dijon, The University of Auckland and Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels.

The following figure displays the typical spatio-temporal nonlinear dynamics occurring within a Kerr resonator including a sinusoidal photonic lattice.

[IRN FALCoL] CALL FOR PROJECTS

Peridotite boudin in greenstones (IRN FALCoL).

Strategy for the distribution of the 2021 funds

The FALCoL international laboratory (https://cnrssingapore.cnrs.fr/project/irn-falcol/) has been launched for five years starting in 2021 with a budget of 15 k€/year.

These credits are dedicated to develop collaborative research projects among FALCoL members and to fund or cofund activities (field work, mobility, workshop, analytical costs, …) that contribute to the better characterization and understanding of lithospheric transfers. FALCoL members are encouraged to mention ongoing projects or propose any ideas of new projects that could be promoted by FALCoL. These propositions will be discussed by our pilot and scientific committee (PiSCo) comprised of Anne-Sylvie André-Mayer (GeoRessources), Nicolas Thébaud (UWA), Vaclav Metelka (CSIRO) and Olivier Vanderhaeghe (GET) that will define the strategy for the use of these funds. In order to facilitate the discussion, propositions of 1-2 pages should include:

Title of the project
Names and institutions of the participants
Relation to FALCoL
Goal of the project
Main activities to be funded
Source of additional funds
Budget
Provisional outcomes

Propositions should be sent in a pdf format to the members of the PiSCo before May 30^th. The outcome of our strategic reflection will be released by the first week of June so that activities can start during the summer.

Cheers to all,
