Nonlinear dynamics of intra-cavity-field for periodically pump-modulated dual-coupled Kerr micro-ring cavities

RESUMO

We numerically investigate the long-time intra-cavity-field dynamics of a periodically pump- modulated pair of coherently coupled Kerr micro-ring resonators. Along a detuning scanning, fixed-phase stroboscopic trajectories change from recurrent regular state to states with positive maximum-Lyapunov growth. Long observation windows near the transition, where finite-time estimates converge slowly. The low- and high-detuning states both retain multi-mode Kerr-comb spectra, while their cycle-to-cycle field organization changes much more strongly. Spatiotemporal intensities, adjacent-cycle profiles, and full-field recurrence measures show a loss of one-period recurrence together with changes in the inter-resonator phase relation, coherent exchange, and dispersive intensity flow. We linearize the coupled equations around the long-time field and examine the growth of an infinitesimal perturbation. The resulting tangent-energy balance shows that the loss contribution changes little along the scanning, whereas the Kerr contribution increases and exceeds the loss magnitude in the high-detuning states with positive Lyapunov growth. A separate dimensional correspondence relates the normalized working range to Si3N4 micro-ring. These results provide a field-resolved description of the long-time dynamical change and its associated perturbation growth.
