There has been great success in observing the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of temporal cavity solitons (TCS) in Kerr ring resonators, but similar phenomena in linear Fabry-Pérot cavities are still unexplored. The authors establish the field polarization properties for the SSB of TCS, and characterize the SSB in a model Fabry-Perot resonator.
