The realization of ultrahigh quality (Q) resonators regardless of the underpinning material platforms has been a ceaseless pursuit, because the high Q resonators provide an extreme environment of storage of light to enable observations of many unconventional nonlinear optical phenomenon with high efficiencies. Here, we demonstrate an ultra-high Q factor (7.1*10^6) microresonator on the 4H-silicon-carbide-on-insulator (4H-SiCOI) platform in which both c{hi}^(2) and c{hi}^(3) nonlinear processes of high efficiencies have been generated.

Wavelength-sized microdisk resonators were fabricated on a single crystalline 4H-silicon-carbide-oninsulator platform (4H-SiCOI). By carrying out microphotoluminescence measurements at room temperature, we show that the microdisk resonators support w hispering-gallery modes (WGMs) with quality factors up to $5.25 times 10^3$ and mode volumes down to $2.69 times(lambda /n)^3$ at the visible and near-infrared wavelengths. Moreover, the demonstrated wavelength-sized microdisk resonators exhibit WGMs whose resonant wavelengths compatible with the zero-phonon lines of spin defects in 4H-SiCOI, making them a promising candidate for applications in cavity quantum electrodynamics and integrated quantum photonic circuits.
A quiet point, an operating point of pump-resonance detuning that minimizes frequency fluctuation due to nonlinear effects inside a resonator, has been employed for phase noise reduction of a soliton Kerr microresonator frequency comb (microcomb). Na turally, it is expected that the use of the point will also improve performances of a microcomb in terms of frequency stability and faithfulness in a phase locked loop. In this study, we experimentally investigate the effect in a microcomb with a repetition frequency of 300~GHz. We obtain a lowest fractional frequency instability at a quiet point of $1.5times 10^{-9}$ at 1 second, which is 44 times lower than free-running instability. Phase-locking of a microcomb to a stabilized fiber comb is demonstrated to evaluate performance in a feedback loop, where in-loop-limited relative fractional frequency instability between the microcomb and the fiber comb of $6.8 times 10^{-13}$ is obtained as an indicator of the stability limitation.
We report on the fabrication of an ultrahigh quality factor, bottle-like microresonator from a microcapillary, and the realization of Raman lasing therein at pump wavelengths of $1.55~mathrm{mu m}$ and $780~mathrm{nm}$. The dependence of the Raman la ser threshold on mode volume is investigated. The mode volume of the fundamental bottle mode is calculated and compared with that of a microsphere. Third-order cascaded Raman lasing was observed when pumped at $780~mathrm{nm}$. In principle, Raman lasing in a hollow bottle-like microresonator can be used in sensing applications. As an example, we briefly discuss the possibility of a high dynamic range, high resolution aerostatic pressure sensor.
Fast-responding detector arrays are commonly used for imaging rapidly-changing scenes. Besides array detectors, a single-pixel detector combined with a broadband optical spectrum can also be used for rapid imaging by mapping the spectrum into a spati al coordinate grid and then rapidly measuring the spectrum. Here, optical frequency combs generated from high-$Q$ silica microresonators are used to implement this method. The microcomb is dispersed in two spatial dimensions to measure a test target. The target-encoded spectrum is then measured by multi-heterodyne beating with another microcomb having a slightly different repetition rate, enabling an imaging frame rate up to 200 kHz and fillrates as high as 48 MegaPixels/s. The system is used to monitor the flow of microparticles in a fluid cell. Microcombs in combination with a monolithic waveguide grating array imager could greatly magnify these results by combining the spatial parallelism of detector arrays with spectral parallelism of optics.
Propagation of light in a highly scattering medium is among the most fascinating optical effect that everyone experiences on an everyday basis and possesses a number of fundamental problems which have yet to be solved. Conventional wisdom suggests th at non-linear effects do not play a significant role because the diffusive nature of scattering acts to spread the intensity, dramatically weakening these effects. We demonstrate the first experimental evidence of lasing on a Raman transition in a bulk three-dimensional random media. From a practical standpoint, Raman transitions allow for spectroscopic analysis of the chemical makeup of the sample. A random Raman laser could serve as a bright Raman source allowing for remote, chemically specific, identification of powders and aerosols. Fundamentally, the first demonstration of this new light source opens up an entire new field of study into non-linear light propagation in turbid media, with the most notable application related to non-invasive biomedical imaging.
