Cavity Solitons in VCSEL Devices

Figure 15

(a, b) Snapshot of 3D filaments and self-confined states in an extended cavity with transverse directions (𝑥,𝑦) and propagation direction 𝑧. (c) Three snapshots of a 1D transverse cavity after injection of a writing beam: 𝑡=0.3, initial injection; 𝑡=1.3, destabilization of the longitudinally uniform solution; 𝑡>600, two independent CLBs are formed and propagate in the cavity.
