Emergent nonlinear phenomena in a driven dissipative photonic dimer

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Mikhail Churaev, Kenichi Komagata, Junqiu Liu, Hairun Guo, Alexey Tikan

Collective effects leading to spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium cannot be described at the single-particle level and are therefore often called emergent phenomena. They are characte ...

Collective dynamics in nonlinear resonators coupled in spatial and synthetic dimensions

Tobias Kippenberg, Aleksandr Tusnin, Alexey Tikan

We theoretically investigate chaotic and stable structures in coupled-resonator chains and synthetic frequency dimension influenced by Kerr nonlinearity, thereby bringing insights in the emerging field of soliton generation in chains and lattices of high-Q ...

Dynamics of soliton self-injection locking in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Andrey Voloshin, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng

Soliton microcombs constitute chip-scale optical frequency combs, and have the potential to impact a myriad of applications from frequency synthesis and telecommunications to astronomy. The demonstration of soliton formation via self-injection locking of t ...

Photonic chip-based resonant supercontinuum via pulse-driven Kerr microresonator solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Tobias Herr, Miles Henry Anderson

Supercontinuum generation and soliton microcomb formation both represent key techniques for the formation of coherent, ultrabroad optical frequency combs, enabling the RF-to-optical link. Coherent supercontinuum generation typically relies on ultrashort pu ...

Probing the topology of the quantum analog of a classical skyrmion

Frédéric Mila, Jeanne Colbois

In magnetism, skyrmions correspond to classical three-dimensional spin textures characterized by a topological invariant that keeps track of the winding of the magnetization in real space, a property that cannot be easily generalized to the quantum case si ...

Formation and Collision of Multistability-Enabled Composite Dissipative Kerr Solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Wenle Weng

Multistability in Kerr resonators which are driven by continuous or modulated optical waves gives rise to the superposition of distinct nonlinear states, yielding a unique platform for studying complex soliton dynamics. Here, by pumping a crystalline micro ...

Dynamics and Applications of Dissipative Kerr Solitons

Maxim Karpov

Optical frequency combs are optical sources, which spectrum consists of a series of equally spaced narrowband frequencies. They made an outstanding leap forward in the accuracy of optical frequency metrology and became an attractive tool for numerous appli ...

Frequency Division Using a Soliton-Injected Semiconductor Gain-Switched Frequency Comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng

By injecting a soliton microcomb into a semiconductor laser that is driven by a sinusoidal current at the subharmonic frequencies of the soliton rate, we demonstrate broadband gain-switched frequency comb generation and low-noise microwave synthesis. (C) 2 ...

Spectral multiplexing of dissipative Kerr solitons in a single optical microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Anton Lukashchuk

We experimentally demonstrate that dissipative Kerr solitons generated in different spectral regions can stably coexist in a single optical microresonator enabling spectral multiplexing of soliton microcombs. (C) 2020 The Author(s) ...
