Photonic chip-based soliton frequency combs covering the biological imaging window

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

Dissipative Kerr solitons (DKS) in optical microresonators provide a highly miniaturised, chip-integrated frequency comb source with unprecedentedly high repetition rates and spectral bandwidth. To date, such frequency comb sources have been successfully a ...

Spatial multiplexing of soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Maxim Karpov, Arslan Sajid Raja

Dual-comb interferometry utilizes two optical frequency combs to map the optical field's spectrum to a radio-frequency signal without using moving parts, allowing improved speed and accuracy. However, the method is compounded by the complexity and demandin ...

Frequency Comb Stabilization of Ultrafast Lasers by Opto-Optical Modulation of Semiconductors

Sargis Hakobyan

In this paper, we review the current state and discuss new developments in opto-optical modulation (OOM) of semiconductor elements for frequency comb self-referenced stabilization of ultrafast lasers. This method has been successfully used for carrier-enve ...

Observation of the 1S-2P Lyman-alpha transition in antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

In 1906, Theodore Lyman discovered his eponymous series of transitions in the extreme-ultraviolet region of the atomic hydrogen spectrum(1,2). The patterns in the hydrogen spectrum helped to establish the emerging theory of quantum mechanics, which we now ...

Appearance and Disappearance of Quantum Correlations in Measurement-Based Feedback Control of a Mechanical Oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Vivishek Sudhir, Amir Hossein Ghadimi, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Hendrik Schütz, Sergey Fedorov

Quantum correlations between imprecision and backaction are a hallmark of continuous linear measurements. Here, we study how measurement-based feedback can be used to improve the visibility of quantum correlations due to the interaction of a laser field wi ...

Dependence of a microresonator Kerr frequency comb on the pump linewidth

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Amirhossein Mohajerin Ariaei, Arne Kordts, Maxim Karpov, Lin Zhang

We experimentally investigate the dependence of Kerr comb generation, comb linewidth, and coherent system performance on the pump linewidth in a microresonator. We find that the generation of the primary comb can have a larger tolerance to the pump linewid ...

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 ...

Highly-sensitive distributed birefringence measurements based on a two-pulse interrogation of a dynamic Brillouin grating

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov

A method for distributed birefringence measurements is proposed based on the interference pattern generated by the interrogation of a dynamic Brillouin grating (DBG) using two short consecutive optical pulses. Compared to existing DBG interrogation techniq ...

Octave-spanning dissipative Kerr soliton frequency combs in Si3N4 microresonators

Michail Zervas, Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo, Junqiu Liu, Clemens Herkommer

Octave-spanning, self-referenced frequency combs are applied in diverse fields ranging from precision metrology to astrophysical spectrometer calibration. The octave-spanning optical bandwidth is typically generated through non-linear spectral broadening o ...

Generation of an optical frequency comb in the green with silicon nitride microresonators

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

The first realization of a green-light frequency comb is reported in a silicon nitride ring microresonator, from third-order non-linear interaction of a near-infrared 1-THz spacing Kerr comb spanning 2/3 of an octave. ...
