Abstract

With the goal of designing more compact optical schemes, cavity solitons have emerged as a potentially useful strategy for information storage, where a bit of information is represented by a cavity soliton. Cavity solitons may develop instabilities like start moving, breathing, or oscillating. In the latter case, LS oscillate in time while remaining stationary in space. It has also been demonstrated the existence of a route in which oscillating Cavity Solitons are destroyed, leading to an excitable regime [1,2].
