Heteronuclear soliton molecules in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Wenle Weng, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Tobias Herr, Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

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 ...

Performance of chip-scale optical frequency comb generators in coherent WDM communications

Tobias Kippenberg

Optical frequency combs have the potential to become key building blocks of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) communication systems. The strictly equidistant narrow-band spectral lines of a frequency comb can serve either as carriers for parallel WDM ...
