Category: Publication Update

One paper slipped my attention in last week’s Publication Update, see updated post below. New papers are:

• Xu, X. et al. Reconfigurable broadband microwave photonic intensity differentiator based on an integrated optical frequency comb source. APL Photonics 2, 096104 (2017).
• Cole, D. C., Lamb, E. S., Del’Haye, P., Diddams, S. A. & Papp, S. B. Soliton crystals in Kerr resonators. Nature Photonics 11, 671 (2017).

And one paper from a competing technology:

• Lo, M.-C. et al. 18-THz-wide optical frequency comb emitted from monolithic passively mode-locked semiconductor quantum-well laser. Optics Letters 42, 3872 (2017).

And here is the BIB-file.

Another week, another bunch of new papers published:

• Conforti, M. & Biancalana, F. Multi-resonant Lugiato–Lefever model. Opt. Lett., OL 42, 3666–3669 (2017).
• Mirnaziry, S. R. et al. Lasing in ring resonators by stimulated Brillouin scattering in the presence of nonlinear loss. Opt. Express, OE 25, 23619–23633 (2017).
• Bao, C. et al. Tunable insertion of multiple lines into a Kerr frequency comb using electro-optical modulators. Opt. Lett., OL 42, 3765–3768 (2017).
• Bao, C., Xuan, Y., Leaird, D. E., Qi, M. & Weiner, A. M. Dark breathers in a normal dispersion optical microresonator. arXiv:1709.03912 [nlin, physics:physics] (2017).

Just as a remark: the two C. Bao from the last two papers are not the same person. The first is Changjing Bao at USC and the second is Chengying Bao from Purdue.

Not directly involving microresonators but it might still be of interest:

• Bessin, F., Copie, F., Conforti, M., Kudlinski, A. & Mussot, A. Modulation instability in the weak normal dispersion region of passive fiber ring cavities. Opt. Lett., OL 42, 3730–3733 (2017).

And all the references above in a BIB-file.

Update (26.09.2017):

• Leonardis, F. D., Soref, R. A., Soltani, M. & Passaro, V. M. N. Broadband biphoton generation and statistics of quantum light in the UV-visible range in an AlGaN microring resonator. Scientific Reports 7, 11387 (2017).

There was only one paper directly concerning Kerr frequency combs:

• Dorche, A. E., Abdollahramezani, S., Taheri, H., Eftekhar, A. A. & Adibi, A. Extending chip-based Kerr-comb to visible spectrum by dispersive wave engineering. Opt. Express, OE 25, 22362–22374 (2017).

And, looking at just the figures one could believe that this is a Kerr frequency comb as well. But it is in a QCL:

• Kazakov, D. et al. Self-starting harmonic frequency comb generation in a quantum cascade laser. arXiv:1709.02887 [physics] (2017).

And the BIB-file for the two papers. Enjoy the rest of the week!

Last weeks publications include a fairly long News & Views in Nature Photonics on Kerr frequency combs which also gives a bit of a broader context. A good read in particular for people not too familiar with the subject.

• Weiner, A. M. Frequency combs: Cavity solitons come of age. Nat Photon 11, 533–535 (2017).
• Diallo, S. & Chembo, Y. K. Optimization of primary Kerr optical frequency combs for tunable microwave generation. Opt. Lett., OL 42, 3522–3525 (2017).
• K. Han, Efficient On-chip Optical Microresonator for Optical Comb Generation: Design and Fabrication, thesis, Purdue University, 2017

If anyone has a direct link to the thesis at the bottom, please let me know. And, as usual, for the journal papers here is the BIB-file.

With a little bit of delay today, here is the summary of the last week:

• Anderson, M. et al. Coexistence of Multiple Nonlinear States in a Tristable Passive Kerr Resonator. Phys. Rev. X 7, 031031 (2017).
• Kim, S. et al. Dispersion engineering and frequency comb generation in thin silicon nitride concentric microresonators. Nature Communications 8, 372 (2017).
• Stone, J. et al. Thermal and Nonlinear Dissipative-Soliton Dynamics in Kerr Microresonator Frequency Combs. arXiv:1708.08405 [physics] (2017).

And the three papers in a BIB-file. Enjoy reading!

Looks like it was a good week. One paper in Optica, one in Nature Photonics and the results from a large collaboration on Arxiv:

• Obrzud, E., Lecomte, S. & Herr, T. Temporal solitons in microresonators driven by optical pulses. Nat Photon advance online publication, (2017).
• Spencer, D. T. et al. An Integrated-Photonics Optical-Frequency Synthesizer. arXiv:1708.05228 [physics] (2017).
