Synchronization of nonsolitonic Kerr combs

Bok Young Kim et al.

Summary: In this study, all-optical synchronization of Kerr combs is demonstrated in the nonsolitonic, normal GVD regime, generating phase-locked combs with high pump-to-comb conversion efficiencies and relatively flat spectral profiles. The results reveal the universality of Kerr comb synchronization and suggest a promising path towards coherently combined normal GVD Kerr combs with spectrally flat profiles and high comb-line powers in an efficient microresonator platform.

Optically referenced 300 GHz millimetre-wave oscillator

Tomohiro Tetsumoto et al.

Summary: The integration of low-noise stimulated Brillouin scattering process, dissipative Kerr soliton comb, and optical-to-electrical conversion has led to the generation of a 300 GHz signal with a phase noise of -100 dBc Hz(-1). The optical frequency division via optical frequency combs has revolutionized microwave metrology and shows great potential for application in the millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave domains. Disipative Kerr solitons in integrated photonic chips are emerging as a leading technology with ultrahigh repetition rates in the millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave fields.

Conversion efficiency of soliton Kerr combs

Jae K. Jang et al.

Summary: Our study investigates the conversion efficiency of soliton modelocked Kerr frequency combs, revealing three distinct scaling regimes with the cavity free spectral range. We verify our theoretical predictions through measurements for critically coupled cases and find that mode crossings have a negative impact on achievable CE. Our results suggest that microresonator combs with spacings in the electronically detectable regime are highly inefficient, which could impact integrated Kerr comb devices.

Aluminum nitride nanophotonics for beyond-octave soliton microcomb generation and self-referencing

Xianwen Liu et al.

Summary: The authors have introduced a solution for accessing octave soliton microcombs and self-referencing using aluminum nitride nanophotonic chips, which could potentially benefit applications such as precision metrology, molecular fingerprinting, and exoplanet discoveries. Through the use of aluminum nitride thin films, the microcomb stabilization has been achieved within the chip, paving the way for fully integrated self-locked microcombs for portable optical atomic clocks and frequency synthesizers.
