We experimentally investigate the interplay of Turing (modulational) and Faraday (parametric) instabilities in a bistable passive nonlinear resonator. The Faraday branch is induced via parametric resonance owing to a periodic modulation of the resonator dispersion. We show that the bistable switching dynamics is dramatically affected by the competition between the two instability mechanisms, which dictates two completely novel scenarios. At low detunings from resonance, switching occurs between the stable stationary lower branch and the Faraday-unstable upper branch, whereas at high detunings we observe the crossover between the Turing and Faraday periodic structures. The results are well explained in terms of the universal Lugiato-Lefever model.

Article Synopsis
- SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists both have positive effects on cardiovascular and kidney health in patients with type 2 diabetes, leading to a study comparing their benefits when used together or separately.
- A meta-analysis from various trials showed that SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduced risks of major cardiovascular events and kidney disease progression for patients whether or not they were taking GLP-1 receptor agonists.
- The consistency of these benefits across different outcomes indicates that SGLT2 inhibitors can be beneficial for all diabetic patients, regardless of GLP-1 receptor agonist usage.

Over the past decades, advances in lipid nanotechnology have shown that self-assembled lipid structures providing ease of preparation, chemical stability, and biocompatibility represent a landmark on the development of multidisciplinary technologies. Lipid nanotubes (LNTs) are a unique class of lipid self-assembled structures, bearing unique properties such as high-aspect ratio, tunable diameter size, and precise molecular recognition. They can be obtained either by the action of external factors to already formed vesicles or spontaneously, the latter depending strongly on subtle molecular features.

This configuration originates from the fine control of frequency mismatch between the frequency spacing of the bichromatic pump and the free spectral range of the cavity. Multicomb states at offset frequencies can be selectively generated by means of the mismatch parameter and the coexistence of Turing and Faraday instabilities.

By implementing a real-time spectroscopy technique, we are able to record successive single-shot spectra, which display the evolution of the system toward a stationary state. We find that the two instability regimes (Turing and Faraday) that compete in this kind of inhomogeneous cavity not only differ by their characteristic frequency but also by their dynamical behavior.

Emergence of coherent structures and patterns at the nonlinear stage of modulation instability of a uniform state is an inherent feature of many biological, physical and engineering systems. There are several well-studied classical modulation instabilities, such as Benjamin-Feir, Turing and Faraday instability, which play a critical role in the self-organization of energy and matter in non-equilibrium physical, chemical and biological systems. Here we experimentally demonstrate the dissipative Faraday instability induced by spatially periodic zig-zag modulation of a dissipative parameter of the system-spectrally dependent losses-achieving generation of temporal patterns and high-harmonic mode-locking in a fibre laser.
