Engineered zero-dispersion microcombs using CMOS-ready photonics

Qing-xin Ji et al.

Summary: In this paper, the development of a microresonator with reduced group velocity dispersion (GVD) due to a coupled-ring resonator configuration is reported. The resonator is integrated in a hybrid manner with a semiconductor laser pump to produce high-power efficiency combs spanning a bandwidth of 9.9 nm (1.22 THz), corresponding to 62 comb lines. The integrated hybrid system could be used in coherent communications or for ultrastable microwave signal generation by two-point optical frequency division.

Self-regulating soliton switching waves in microresonators

Heming Wang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the formation process of dark pulses triggered by self-injection locking in dissipative soliton Kerr frequency combs. It is found that the self-injection locking mechanism allows for the control of the position and duty cycle of the dark pulses, enabling access to a wide range of comb states. The shape of the dark pulses is also imaged using the linear optical sampling technique. These results provide important insights and operational modalities for understanding and utilizing this important class of nonlinear waves.

Frequency comb generation in a pulse-pumped normal dispersion Kerr mini-resonator

Yiqing Xu et al.

Summary: Researchers demonstrate that Kerr microresonators driven by pulsed pump sources no longer require localized dispersion perturbations to initiate the formation of optical frequency combs. By controlling the desynchronization between the pump repetition rate and the cavity free-spectral range, they can tune the center frequency of the output comb. Additionally, under large pump-cavity desynchronization, a new form of Raman-assisted anomalous dispersion cavity soliton is supported.

Excitation of switching waves in normally dispersive Kerr cavities

Jonathan Lottes et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the propagation of still interlocked fronts or switching waves in a coherently pumped, passive cavity, and how a good degree of control can be obtained by applying negative or positive external pulsed excitation.
