Abstract

Cylindrical micro-resonators with normal dispersion are seen to support photonic snake states. These are a type of two-dimensional zig-zag solitonic wave arising via the control of the well-known snaking instability, discovered 50 years ago and ever since observed as an uncontrollable one in classical and quantum fluids, Bose-Einstein condensates, chemical reactions, and optics, amongst others. The spectrum of Photonic snakes is a two-dimensional continuous collection frequency combs featuring heterogeneity and intrinsic synchronization. The conditions for their existence, robustness, and deterministic excitation routes are identified. Applications such as spectroscopy, metrology, or communications may benefit by this new paradigm of micro-comb formation.
