Dissipative Kerr solitons and Cherenkov radiation in optical microresonators with third order dispersion

Abstract

We present the results of asymptotic and numerical analysis of dissipative Kerr solitons in whispering gallery mode microresonators influenced by higher order dispersive terms leading to the appearance of a dispersive wave (Cherenkov radiation). Combining direct perturbation method with the method of moments we find expressions for the frequency, strength, spectral width of the dispersive wave and soliton velocity. Mutual influence of the soliton and dispersive wave was studied. The formation of the dispersive wave leads to a shift of the soliton spectrum maximum from the pump frequency (spectral recoil), while the soliton displaces the dispersive wave spectral peak from the zero dispersion point.
