Abstract

We present an analytical framework to compute the bifurcations occurring at the limits of optical bistability and the onset spontaneous symmetry breaking in Kerr ring and Fabry-Pérot resonators, which correspond to exceptional points in an analogous linear non-Hermitian system. This insight enables new approaches for controlling nonlinear photonic devices, integrated photonics, optical computing, and frequency comb generation.
