Breathing dissipative solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo

Dissipative solitons are self-localized structures resulting from a double balance between dispersion and nonlinearity as well as dissipation and a driving force. They occur in a wide variety of fields ranging from optics, hydrodynamics to chemistry and bi ...

Heterogeneous integration of lithium niobate and silicon nitride waveguides for wafer-scale photonic integrated circuits on silicon

Nicolas Volet, Michail Zervas, Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer

An ideal photonic integrated circuit for nonlinear photonic applications requires high optical nonlinearities and low loss. This work demonstrates a heterogeneous platform by bonding lithium niobate (LN) thin films onto a silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguide ...

Microresonator-based solitons for massively parallel coherent optical communications

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Victor Brasch, Arne Kordts, Maxim Karpov, Miles Henry Anderson

Solitons are waveforms that preserve their shape while propagating, as a result of a balance of dispersion and nonlinearity(1,2). Soliton-based data transmission schemes were investigated in the 1980s and showed promise as a way of overcoming the limitatio ...

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of EDFA-Generated ASE Noise added to the Pump of a Kerr Frequency Comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Fatemeh Alishahi, Arne Kordts, Maxim Karpov, Ahmad Fallahpour, Lin Zhang

We experimentally investigate the effect of EDFA-induced pump ASE noise on cavity-soliton Kerr combs for 64-QAM transmission. We find that all comb optical carrier-to-noise ratios (OCNRs) are similar with a fixed pump OCNR and comb linewidths almost remain ...
