Self-emergence of laser cavity solitons in microcombs

This lecture explores the self-emergence of laser cavity solitons in microcombs, focusing on the role of slow nonlinearities. The instructor discusses the generation of localized pulses in micro-cavities integrated within fibre laser loops, leading to the observation of laser cavity-solitons. The seminar delves into the physical characteristics, energy efficiency, and dynamic properties of these solitary waves, highlighting their spontaneous emergence and resilience. The core mechanism behind the dominance of laser cavity solitons in microcomb systems is presented, emphasizing the impact of slow nonlinearities in facilitating the stable emergence of solitary waves. Mathematical modeling is discussed to depict experimental findings.
