Helimagnons and Skyrmion Dynamics in Cu2OSeO3 and Fe/Gd Multilayers Explored by Brillouin Light Scattering and X-ray Microscopy

Ping Che

Spin dynamics in skyrmion hosting materials provide novel functionality in magnonics because of the formation of a novel magnon band structure and the nanoscale sizes of magnetic skyrmions. In this thesis, we explore the spin dynamics in the chiral magnet ...

Emergent nonlinear phenomena in a driven dissipative photonic dimer

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Hairun Guo, Rui Ning Wang, Mikhail Churaev, Alexey Tikan

Collective effects leading to spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium cannot be described at the single-particle level and are therefore often called emergent phenomena. They are characte ...

Collective dynamics in nonlinear resonators coupled in spatial and synthetic dimensions

Tobias Kippenberg, Alexey Tikan, Aleksandr Tusnin

We theoretically investigate chaotic and stable structures in coupled-resonator chains and synthetic frequency dimension influenced by Kerr nonlinearity, thereby bringing insights in the emerging field of soliton generation in chains and lattices of high-Q ...

Dynamics of soliton self-injection locking in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Andrey Voloshin

Soliton microcombs constitute chip-scale optical frequency combs, and have the potential to impact a myriad of applications from frequency synthesis and telecommunications to astronomy. The demonstration of soliton formation via self-injection locking of t ...

Photonic chip-based resonant supercontinuum via pulse-driven Kerr microresonator solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Miles Henry Anderson, Tobias Herr, Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

Supercontinuum generation and soliton microcomb formation both represent key techniques for the formation of coherent, ultrabroad optical frequency combs, enabling the RF-to-optical link. Coherent supercontinuum generation typically relies on ultrashort pu ...

Formation and Collision of Multistability-Enabled Composite Dissipative Kerr Solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Wenle Weng, Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

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 ...

Dynamics and Applications of Dissipative Kerr Solitons

Maxim Karpov

Optical frequency combs are optical sources, which spectrum consists of a series of equally spaced narrowband frequencies. They made an outstanding leap forward in the accuracy of optical frequency metrology and became an attractive tool for numerous appli ...

Frequency Division Using a Soliton-Injected Semiconductor Gain-Switched Frequency Comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng

By injecting a soliton microcomb into a semiconductor laser that is driven by a sinusoidal current at the subharmonic frequencies of the soliton rate, we demonstrate broadband gain-switched frequency comb generation and low-noise microwave synthesis. (C) 2 ...

Spectral multiplexing of dissipative Kerr solitons in a single optical microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Anton Lukashchuk

We experimentally demonstrate that dissipative Kerr solitons generated in different spectral regions can stably coexist in a single optical microresonator enabling spectral multiplexing of soliton microcombs. (C) 2020 The Author(s) ...

Massively parallel coherent LiDAR using dissipative Kerr solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Johann Emmeram Riemensberger, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Anton Lukashchuk

We demonstrate an architecture for massively parallel frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser ranging (LiDAR) by transferring linear chirps of a single narrow linewidth laser onto all soliton comb teeth though generation of a dissipative Kerr soli ...

Koopman Analysis of Isolated Fronts and Solitons

Jeremy Peter Parker

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 ...

Multistability-Enabled Complex Soliton Dynamics in a Bichromatically Driven Optical Microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Wenle Weng, Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

We enter a bichromatically-pumped multistability regime in a microresonator to observe the emergence of complex dynamics of dissipative Kerr soliton interactions, including short-range soliton binding and periodic soliton collision. (C) 2020 The Author(s) ...
