$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric mode-locking
abstract
Parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry is one of the most important accomplishments in optics over the past decade. Here the concept of $\mathcal{PT}$ mode-locking of a laser is introduced, in which active phase locking of cavity axial modes is realized by asymmetric mode coupling in a complex time crystal. $\mathcal{PT}$ mode-locking shows a transition from single to double pulse emission as the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking point is crossed. The transition can show a turbulent behavior, depending on a dimensionless modulation parameter that plays the same role as the Reynolds number in hydrodynamic flows.
