We demonstrate a scheme incorporating dual coupled microresonators through which mode interactions are intentionally introduced and controlled for Kerr frequency comb (microcomb) generation in the normal dispersion region. Microcomb generation, repetition rate selection, and mode locking are achieved with coupled silicon nitride microrings controlled via an on-chip microheater. Our results show for the first time that mode interactions can be programmably tuned to facilitate broadband normal-dispersion microcombs. The proposed scheme increases freedom in microresonator design and may make it possible to generate microcombs in an extended wavelength range (e.g., in the visible) where normal material dispersion is likely to dominate.
We explore intrinsic thermal noise in soliton microcombs, revealing thermodynamic correlations induced by nonlinearity and group-velocity dispersion. A suitable dispersion design gives rise to control over thermal-noise transduction from the environm
Soliton operation and soliton wavelength tuning of erbium-doped fiber lasers mode locked with atomic layer graphene was experimentally investigated under various cavity dispersion conditions. It was shown that not only wide range soliton wavelength t
It has long been thought that normal group-velocity dispersion (GVD) cannot be produced in free space via angular dispersion. Indeed, conventional diffractive or dispersive components such as gratings or prisms produce only anomalous GVD. We identify
Breathers are localized waves, that are periodic in time or space. The concept of breathers is useful for describing many physical systems including granular lattices, Bose-Einstein condensation, hydrodynamics, plasmas and optics. Breathers could exi
Laser frequency microcombs provide equidistant coherent frequency markers over a broad spectrum, enabling new frontiers in chip-scale frequency metrology, laser spectroscopy, dense optical communications, precision distance metrology and astronomy. H
