Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments

The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...

Domain Imaging and Switching Dynamics in BaTiO3-Based Photonic Integrated Devices

Jacqueline Geler Kremer

Keeping up with our constantly connected lifestyle of instant messages and video streaming has its repercussions. Data centers have been gobbling up resources becoming a significant share of the energy used worldwide. To keep up with demand and curb the en ...

Generalised Kerr Microcomb Physics in Synchronously Driven Systems

Miles Henry Anderson

In this thesis, the generation of microcombs under complex, non-trivial, and/or higher-order cavity conditions is explored, both in theory & simulation, and in practical experimentation. Pulse-driving of microresonators is investigated for the generation ...

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 ...

NATURE PORTFOLIO2022

It has been shown analytically that Peregrine solitons emerge locally from a universal mechanism in the so-called semiclassical limit of the one-dimensional focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Experimentally, this limit corresponds to the strongly non ...

Dissipative Kerr solitons in a photonic dimer on both sides of exceptional point

Tobias Kippenberg, Mikhail Churaev, Aleksandr Tusnin, Kenichi Komagata, Hairun Guo, Alexey Tikan

Exceptional points are a ubiquitous concept widely present in driven-dissipative coupled systems described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. To date, exceptional points have been extensively examined in the systems supporting only a few optical modes, thereb ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 of soliton crystals in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Wenle Weng

Dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators combine nonlinear optical physics with photonic-integrated technologies. They are promising for a number of applications ranging from optical coherent communications to astrophysical spectrometer calibra ...
