Photonic-Crystal Microresonator Frequency Combs in the O-band

Sarang Yeola, Alexa R. Carollo, Jizhao Zang +1

Photonic-crystal microresonators (PhCRs) are a powerful platform for generating Kerr frequency combs. Because Kerr-soliton dynamics in PhCRs are largely decoupled from the operatin…

Induced Directional Switching of Platicon Microcombs in Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators

Erwan Lucas, Su-Peng Yu, Jizhao Zang +1

Microcombs in normal-dispersion photonic crystal ring resonators (PhCRs) are a versatile building block for next-generation integrated photonic circuits, yet they inherently suffer…

A generative pre-trained transformer with Kerr-soliton attention

Lindell M. Williams, Yan Jin, Scott B. Papp

Artificial intelligence systems, particularly through generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs), have enabled capability-rich language models, but their operation incurs substanti…

Nanophotonic control of collective many-body states in Kerr solitons

Yan Jin, Jizhao Zang, Sarang Yeola +3

Spatially periodic systems of coupled bosons are governed by on-site interactions and tunneling between sites, opening a rich phase space of many-body behavior. Here, we explore na…
