Dual pumped microresonator frequency combs
arXiv:1404.2792 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.90.013811
Abstract
A study is made of the nonlinear dynamics of dual pumped microresonator Kerr frequency combs described by a driven and damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with an additional degree of freedom in the form of the modulation frequency. A truncated four wave model is derived for the pump modes and the dominant sideband pair which is found to be able to describe much of the essential dynamical behaviour of the full equation. The stability of stationary states within the four wave model is investigated and numerical simulations are made to demonstrate that a large range of solutions, including cavity solitons, are possible beyond previously considered low intensity patterns.
