Abstract
We present experimental and numerical evidence of self-switching behaviours between counterpropagating optical modes in a Kerr microresonator [1]. Switching indicates the restoration on average of symmetry in a previously symmetry-broken state [2] , [3]. The time-evolution of the electric field amplitudes, E ± , of the two counter-propagating modes is accurately described by the following coupled system of ordinary differential equations: \begin{equation-}{{d{E- \pm }}}{{dt}} = {E-{in}} - \left[ {1 + i\left( {\theta - A{{\left| {{E- \pm }} \right|}ˇ2} - B{{\left| {{E- \mp }} \right|}ˇ2}} \right)} \right]{E- \pm }\end{equation-}
