Emergence of collapsed snaking related dark and bright Kerr dissipative solitons with quartic-quadratic dispersion

We theoretically investigate the dynamics, bifurcation structure, and stability of dark localized states emerging in Kerr cavities in the presence of positive second-and fourth-order dispersion. In this previously unexplored regime, dark states form through the locking of uniform wave fronts, or domain walls, connecting two coexisting stable uniform states, and undergo a generic bifurcation structure known as collapsed homoclinic snaking. We characterize the robustness of these states by computing their stability and bifurcation structure as a function of the main control parameter of the system. Furthermore, we show that by increasing the dispersion of fourth order, bright localized states can be also stabilized.
