Photo-induced cascaded harmonic and comb generation in silicon nitride microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu, Ozan Yakar, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Jijun He, Edgars Nitiss

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is an ever-maturing integrated platform for nonlinear optics but mostly considered for third-order [chi(3)] nonlinear interactions. Recently, second-order [chi(2)] nonlinearity was introduced into Si3N4 via the photogalvanic effect, ...

Microresonator Dissipative Kerr Solitons Synchronized to an Optoelectronic Oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Wenle Weng, Jijun He

Using phase-modulation-induced potential gradient whose period is synchronized to a microwave opto-electronic oscillator, dissipative Kerr solitons generated in a crystalline optical microresonator are trapped by the soliton tweezing effect, exhibiting a s ...

Zero dispersion Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Miles Henry Anderson, Alexey Tikan

Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical systems from BEC to hydrodynamics, and fall into two separate classes: bright solitons existing in anomalous group velocity dispersion, and switching waves forming 'dark ...

Coherent terahertz-to-microwave link using electro-optic-modulated Turing rolls

Tobias Kippenberg, Anat Siddharth, Wenle Weng, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He, Miles Henry Anderson

Arising from modulation instability, Turing rolls in optical Kerr microresonators have been used in the generation of optical frequency combs and the synthesis of microwave and terahertz frequencies. In this work, by applying electro-optic modulation on te ...
