Dynamics of Dispersive Wave Emission From Dark Solitons in Kerr Frequency Combs

Taking advantage of an extended Lugiato-Lefever equation with third-order dispersion, we numerically show that dark cavity solitons formed in normal dispersion of microresonators are capable of emitting dispersive waves in both normal and anomalous dispersion regions with two different methods, resembling the behavior of the commonly encountered bright cavity solitons. The generated dispersive waves can be accurately predicted by the dissipative radiation theory. In addition, we demonstrate the stability enhancement of Kerr frequency combs in the normal dispersion regime in case the dispersive wave is emitted by dark solitons in the presence of third-order dispersion.
