Abstract:
We consider arrays of coupled nonlinear optical cavities subject to coherent optical injection. These devices are described by the discrete generalized Lugiato-Lefever equation. We predict that stable three-dimensional localized structures, often called discrete light bullets, and clusters of them may form in the output of the coupled optical resonators. We consider both anomalous and normal dispersion and show that it results in the generation of, respectively, bright and dark discrete light bullets.
