All-optical Synchronization of Breather Solitons in a Kerr Microresonator

Wang Liao, Stuart G. Murdoch, Stephane Coen +3

Microresonator Kerr solitons are promising candidates for the realization of miniaturized on-chip optical frequency combs. For specific system parameters, these solitons are associ…

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…

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…
