Soliton crystal formation in Kerr cavities with an avoided mode crossing: a theoretical study
Carlo Silvestri, Caitlin E. Murray, Chawaphon Prayoonyong +4
We theoretically and numerically investigate the formation of soliton crystals in Kerr microresonators in the presence of an avoided mode crossing (AMX). Our study combines dynamic…
Theory of multicolor soliton microcombs
Carlo Silvestri, Justin Widjaja, Austin Lin +2
We present a general theory of multicolor soliton microcombs. These frequency combs require specially engineered dispersion and have an optical spectrum consisting of multiple spec…
Observation of fractional evolution in nonlinear optics
Van Thuy Hoang, Justin Widjaja, Y. Long Qiang +4
The idea of fractional derivatives has a long history that dates back centuries. Apart from their intriguing mathematical properties, fractional derivatives have been studied widel…
Quasi-solitons and stable superluminal opto-acoustic pulses in Brillouin scattering
Antoine F. J. Runge, MikoÅaj K. Schmidt, Alexander S. Solntsev +2
We theoretically and numerically study the evolution of soliton-like waves supported by stimulated Brillouin scattering. First, the emergence and unusual behaviour of resonant soli…
