Symmetry breaking in laser cavities
Abstract
A brief introduction to the topic of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in conservative and dissipative nonlinear systems with an underlying double-well-potential structure is given. The reason is a discussion of a recent observation of the SSB a dual-core nanolaser cavity [5]. The effect is illustrated by means of a simple semi-analytically-tractable model (Fig. 1).
