Kerr frequency combs at Photonics West 2017
With Photonics West 2017 one of the big conferences in optics and in particular for telecom is coming up. Time to have a look at the program of this edition and to see, what to expect for the field of Kerr frequency combs.
There are two dedicated session directly on the first day, Monday, 30 January:
- Monday, 30 January, 1:10 PM to 3:15 PM: Frequency Combs with Optical Resonators I, Chair: Konstantin L. Vodopyanov
- Monday, 30 January, 3:45 PM to 6:05 PM: Frequency Combs with Optical Resonators I, Chair: Andrea M. Armani
For a list of talks also outside these session see below.

Double LEGOlibrium
The dissipative Kerr soliton (DKS) in microresonators and fiber resonators is typically described as a double balance between dispersion and nonlinearity and loss and nonlinear gain. Here is a small animation that shows these four different actors working on a stable soliton equilibrium.

Dispersion measurement techniques
The dynamics of Kerr frequency combs strongly depend on the dispersion of the microresonator. Bright dissipative Kerr solitons for example can only form with sufficient anomalous group velocity dispersion. Therefore the measurement of the dispersion is an important characterization step and by now there are a few different techniques in use in different groups with different advantages and disadvantages. Here I briefly summarize the techniques that are known to me and give some references.
