Influence of coherent coupling between counterpropagating waves on spontaneous symmetry breaking and complex oscillations in Kerr microcavities.

We theoretically study the impact of coherent intermode coupling on the nonlinear dynamics of two counterpropagating modes in a Kerr microcavity driven by symmetric counterpropagating pumps, focusing on the realization of stationary and oscillatory s…
