Nonlinear dynamics and stability of Kerr degenerate optical parametric oscillators
On demand | Presented live 14 April 2026 
Abstract
We investigate theoretically and experimentally the nonlinear dynamics of degenerate optical parametric oscillators (DOPO) in a silicon nitride microring resonator driven by two tunable lasers. Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of DOPO operation and stability, with implications for the development of compact and reliable photonic devices.

Juan Diego Mazo Vásquez completed his Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the University of Antioquia in Colombia in 2020. In 2022, he was awarded a scholarship from the Max Planck School of Photonics to pursue a Master’s degree in the Karlsruhe School of Optics and Photonics, at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2024, he began his Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, and the Friedrich Alexander University in Erlangen, Germany. His current research explores nonlinear optics, non-Hermitian physics, and photonics.
