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.
