Abstract:
Recent progress on the effects of higher dimensions, Raman scattering, and Cherenkov analogue radiation emitted by dissipative solitons in driven micro-cavity is presented, together and separately. Novel insights in the context of normal vs anomalous dispersion regimes are presented. We report on one-dimensional radiating solitons of the bright and dark natures in the anomalous and normal cavity dispersion regimes, aiming at elucidating certain previously seemingly unexplored connections amongst them. Additionally, we show that in higher dimensions, new types of nonlinear states appear under the action of a spatially localised driving fields. These include localised patterns and solitons of the quiescent and moving types. To finalise, we briefly show robust topological light-bullets in large area fiber loops co-living with the higher order and typically detrimental effects.
