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 ...

Chaotic microcomb-based parallel ranging

Tobias Kippenberg, Aleksandr Tusnin, Junqiu Liu, Anton Lukashchuk

The intrinsic random amplitude and phase modulation of 40 distinct lines of a microresonator frequency comb operated in the modulation instability regime are used to realize massively parallel random-modulation continuous-wave light detection and ranging, ...

Hybrid lithium niobate-on-silicon nitride platform for mid-IR supercontinuum generation

Tobias Kippenberg, Mikhail Churaev

Integrated optics has shown itself very convenient for exploiting nonlinear processes as it results in high confinement factor, freedom of dispersion engineering and compactness. However, the choice of materials is crucial for the development of nonlinear ...

Weakly nonlinear evolution of stochastically driven non-normal systems

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière

We consider nonlinear dynamical systems driven by stochastic forcing. It has been largely evidenced in the literature that the linear response of non-normal systems (e.g. fluid flows) may exhibit a large variance amplification, even in a linearly stable re ...

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 ...

Automatic locking of a parametrically resonating, base-excited, nonlinear beam

Amit Yedidia Dolev

Described is a closed-loop control scheme capable of stabilizing a parametrically excited nonlinear structure in several vibration modes. By setting the relative phase between the spatially filtered response and the excitation, the open-loop unstable solut ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
