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 ...

Koopman Analysis of Isolated Fronts and Solitons

A Koopman decomposition of a complex system leads to a representation in which nonlinear dynamics appear to be linear. The existence of a linear framework with which to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems brings new strategies for prediction and control, w ...

Resonant dissipative Kerr soliton supercontinuum in the normal dispersion regime

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

We demonstrate broadband resonant supercontinuum generation in a Si3N4 microresonator with normal dispersion. Rectangular bright pulses are shown to form directly using synchronous pulse-driving, generating a 2,600-line comb at 28 GHz repetition rate. (C) ...

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 ...

NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2019

Optical-frequency combs, that is spectra of equidistant coherent optical lines, have revolutionized the precision measurements of time and frequency. In 2007 a new method to generate optical frequency combs was discovered. In contrast to conventional gener ...

Slow-Light Frequency Combs and Dissipative Kerr Solitons in Coupled-Cavity Waveguides

Vincenzo Savona, Juan Pablo Vasco Cano

We study Kerr frequency combs and dissipative Kerr solitons in silicon photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguides (CCWs) with globally optimized dispersion at telecom wavelengths. The corresponding threshold for comb generation is found to explicitly depen ...

Polychromatic Cherenkov Radiation Induced Group Velocity Symmetry Breaking in Counterpropagating Dissipative Kerr Solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng

High-order-dispersion-induced dispersive waves emitted by dissipative Kerr solitons are frequently observed in microresonator frequency comb generation. Also known as soliton Cherenkov radiation, this type of dispersive wave plays a critical role in comb s ...

Dual comb generation in a monochromatically driven crystalline microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng

Recent works on Kerr frequency combs demonstrated the possibility to simultaneously generate multiple soliton states with different group velocities in a single microresonator, which could be beneficial for many applications utilizing dual-comb systems. In ...

Orthogonally polarized frequency comb generation from a Kerr comb via cross-phase modulation

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Arne Kordts, Lin Zhang

We experimentally demonstrate that a single microresonator can emit two orthogonally polarized individually coherent combs: (i) a strong polarized soliton comb and (ii) an orthogonally polarized continuous wave seeded weaker comb, generated from the first ...
