Spectral tailoring of Raman soliton generation via a dispersion-managed fibre Fabry-Pérot resonator
Yiqing Xu, Stuart G. Murdoch, Stéphane Coen +1
Dissipative Raman solitons in passive Kerr resonators have emerged as a promising route to broadband coherent frequency comb generation. Yet, their centre frequency has so far been…
Multi-peak vector soliton families in defocusing Kerr resonators
Pengxiang Wang, Carlos Mas-Arabi, Gian-Luca Oppo +6
We report the existence of multi-peaked vector soliton families in normally dispersive passive Kerr resonators. Through cross-phase modulation between two orthogonal polarization c…
Soliton self-excitation under pulsed driving in a Kerr resonator
Matthew Macnaughtan, Zongda Li, Yiqing Xu +5
We present a novel regime of cavity soliton excitation in a Kerr resonator driven by a train of desynchronised pulses. In this regime, the soliton solution is shown to be the sole…

Liam Quinn, Yiqing Xu, Julien Fatome +4
Time-multiplexed networks of degenerate optical parametric oscillators have demonstrated remarkable success in simulating coupled Ising spins, thus providing a promising route to s…
Continuous wave driving elucidates the desynchronisation dynamics of ultrashort dissipative Raman solitons generated in dispersive Kerr resonators
Zongda Li, Yiqing Xu, Stéphane Coen +2
Phase-coherent pulsed driving of passive optical fiber resonators enable the generation of ultrashort dissipative Raman solitons with durations well below 100~fs. The existence and…

External driving of passive, nonlinear optical resonators has emerged over the past decade as a novel route for the generation of ultrashort optical pulses and corresponding broadb…
Dual-microcomb generation in a synchronously-driven waveguide ring resonator
Yiqing Xu, Miro Erkintalo, Yi Lin +3
Microcombs -- optical frequency combs generated in coherently-driven nonlinear microresonators -- have attracted significant attention over the last decade. The ability to generate…
Observations of Existence and Instability Dynamics of Near-Zero-Dispersion Temporal Kerr Cavity Solitons
Zongda Li, Yiqing Xu, Caleb Todd +4
Dissipative Kerr cavity solitons (CSs) are persisting pulses of light that manifest themselves in driven optical resonators and that have attracted significant attention over the l…
Frequency comb generation in a pulse-pumped normal dispersion Kerr mini-resonator
Yiqing Xu, Alexander Sharples, Julien Fatome +3
Kerr microresonators driven in the normal dispersion regime typically require the presence of localized dispersion perturbations, such as those induced by avoided mode crossings, t…

We report on the experimental observation of internally-pumped parametric oscillation in a high-Q lithium niobate microresonator under conditions of natural phase-matching. Specifi…
Engineered discreteness enables observation and control of chimera-like states in a system with local coupling
Alexander U. Nielsen, Yiqing Xu, Michel Ferré +4
Chimera states -- named after the mythical beast with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a dragon's tail -- correspond to spatiotemporal patterns characterised by the coexistence of…
Real-time spectral analysis of ultrafast pulses using a free-space angular chirp enhanced delay
Yiqing Xu, Stuart G. Murdoch
Frequency to time mapping is a powerful technique for observing ultrafast phenomena and non-repetitive events in optics. However, many optical sources operate in wavelength regions…
Efficiency of dispersive wave generation from a dual-frequency beat signal
