Gain-switched semiconductor laser driven soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Jijun He

Dissipative Kerr soliton generation using self-injection-locked III-V lasers has enabled fully integrated hybrid microcombs that operate in turnkey mode and can access microwave repetition rates. Yet, continuous-wave-driven soliton microcombs exhibit low e ...

Gain-switched semiconductor laser driven soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Jijun He

Using phase-engineered coherent laser pulses produced by gain-switched semiconductor lasers, we generate low-power-threshold soliton microcombs whose repetition frequencies are in the X-band and K-band microwave ranges. (c) 2021TheAuthor(s) ...

Heteronuclear soliton molecules in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Tobias Herr

Optical soliton molecules are bound states of solitons that arise from the balance between attractive and repulsive effects. Having been observed in systems ranging from optical fibres to mode-locked lasers, they provide insights into the fundamental inter ...

Photonic microwave generation in the X- and K-band using integrated soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He

Microwave photonic technologies, which upshift the carrier into the optical domain, have facilitated the generation and processing of ultra-wideband electronic signals at vastly reduced fractional bandwidths. For microwave photonic applications such as rad ...

Massively parallel coherent LiDAR using dissipative Kerr solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Anton Lukashchuk

We demonstrate an architecture for massively parallel frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser ranging (LiDAR) by transferring linear chirps of a single narrow linewidth laser onto all soliton comb teeth though generation of a dissipative Kerr soli ...

Ultralow-noise photonic microwave synthesis using a soliton microcomb-based transfer oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas

The synthesis of ultralow-noise microwaves is of both scientific and technological relevance for timing, metrology, communications and radio-astronomy. Today, the lowest reported phase noise signals are obtained via optical frequency-division using mode-lo ...

Monolithic piezoelectric control of soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Junqiu Liu, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He, Mitchell David Anderson

We demonstrate piezoelectric actuators monolithically integrated on ultralow-loss Si3N4 waveguides. Varying the voltage applied on the actuator allows microresonator tuning, and to initiate, switch, stabilize and tightly phase lock the single soliton micro ...

Monolithic piezoelectric control of soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Junqiu Liu, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He, Miles Henry Anderson, Tianyi Liu

High-speed actuation of laser frequency(1)is critical in applications using lasers and frequency combs(2,3), and is a prerequisite for phase locking, frequency stabilization and stability transfer among optical carriers. For example, high-bandwidth feedbac ...

Massively parallel coherent laser ranging using a soliton microcomb

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Anton Lukashchuk

Coherent ranging, also known as frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) laser-based light detection and ranging (lidar)(1) is used for long-range three-dimensional distance and velocimetry in autonomous driving(2,3). FMCW lidar maps distance to frequenc ...
