Abstract

We investigate the impact of collisions with two-frequency photonic molecules aiming to observe internal dynamic behavior and challenge their strong robustness. Versatile interaction scenarios show intriguing state changes expressed through modifications of the resulting state such as temporal compression and unknown collision-induced spectral tunneling. These processes show potential for efficient coherent supercontinuum generation and all-optical manipulation.
