Month: March 2018

Here is what’s new from the last week. A bit of Raman frequency combs, some numerical work on Kerr combs in silicon and dissipative Kerr solitons in silicon nitride microresonators at around 1000 nm wavelength.

• Suzuki, R., Kubota, A., Hori, A., Fujii, S. & Tanabe, T. Broadband gain induced Raman comb formation in a silica microresonator. J. Opt. Soc. Am. B, JOSAB 35, 933–938 (2018).
• Liu, M. et al. Influences of multiphoton absorption and free-carrier effects on frequency-comb generation in normal dispersion silicon microresonators. Photon. Res., PRJ 6, 238–243 (2018).
• Karpov, M., Pfeiffer, M. H. P., Liu, J., Lukashchuk, A. & Kippenberg, T. J. Photonic chip-based soliton frequency combs covering the biological imaging window. Nature Communications 9, 1146 (2018).

And the [download id=”688″]. Below are two more publications on low-loss silicon nitride waveguides and a model for noise in frequency combs.

Dual-comb applications are really all the rage these days. Another high-profile paper this week. The second paper uses Kerr frequency combs for metrology.

• Dutt, A. et al. On-chip dual-comb source for spectroscopy. Science Advances 4, e1701858 (2018).
• Lamb, E. S. et al. Optical-Frequency Measurements with a Kerr Microcomb and Photonic-Chip Supercontinuum. Phys. Rev. Applied 9, 024030 (2018).

As usual, the [download id=”670″] for these two publications. Below two more papers related to nonlinearity in microresonators and dissipative solitons.
