Detuning-dependent properties and dispersion-induced instabilities of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, John David Jost, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo

Temporal-dissipative Kerr solitons are self-localized light pulses sustained in driven nonlinear optical resonators. Their realization in microresonators has enabled compact sources of coherent optical frequency combs as well as the study of dissipative so ...

Coexistence of Multiple Nonlinear States in a Tristable Passive Kerr Resonator

Miles Henry Anderson

Passive Kerr cavities driven by coherent laser fields display a rich landscape of nonlinear physics, including bistability, pattern formation, and localized dissipative structures (solitons). Their conceptual simplicity has for several decades offered an u ...

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 ...

Self-referenced photonic chip soliton Kerr frequency comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, John David Jost, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann

Self-referencing turns pulsed laser systems into self-referenced frequency combs. Such frequency combs allow counting of optical frequencies and have a wide range of applications. The required optical bandwidth to implement self-referencing is typically ob ...

Unidirectional isolator-free 2 micron fiber lasers

Svyatoslav Kharitonov

This thesis presents results of a research on unidirectional isolator-free cavity lasers, exploiting thulium-doped fiber (TDF) as amplification medium and operating in \unit[2]{\mu m} wavelength range. For fibre ring resonator, an optical isolator should b ...

Near-field characterization of Bloch surface waves based 2D optical components

Richa Dubey

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...

Study on the detuning-dependent properties of a temporal dissipative Kerr soliton in an optical microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, John David Jost

Temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in a continuous-wave laser-driven nonlinear optical microresonator enable compact, high-repetition rate sources of ultrashort pulses and coherent broadband optical frequency combs. A central parameter in the soliton forma ...

Raman Self-Frequency Shift of Dissipative Kerr Solitons in an Optical Microresonator

Michail Zervas, Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Victor Brasch, Arne Kordts, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo

The formation of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in microresonators driven by a continuous-wave laser enables the generation of coherent, broadband, and spectrally smooth optical frequency combs as well as femtosecond pulse sources with compact form fac ...

Bringing short-lived dissipative Kerr soliton states in microresonators into a steady state

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Victor Brasch, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann

Dissipative Kerr solitons have recently been generated in optical microresonators, enabling ultrashort optical pulses at microwave repetition rates, that constitute coherent and numerically predictable Kerr frequency combs. However, the seeding and excitat ...

Harmonization of chaos into a soliton in Kerr frequency combs

Tobias Kippenberg

Dissipative Kerr solitons have paved the way to broadband and fully coherent optical frequency combs in microresonators. Here, we demonstrate numerically that slow frequency tuning of the pump laser in conjunction with phase or amplitude modulation corresp ...

Soliton Kerr Frequency Combs Generated in Integrated Photonic Chips

Victor Brasch

In 2007 a new method to generate optical frequency combs was discovered. In contrast to conventional frequency combs which are generated from pulsed laser sources, these Kerr frequency combs (also known as microresonator frequency combs) are generated enti ...
