Kerr-induced synchronization of a cavity soliton to an optical reference

December 13, 2023
Author(s)
Gregory Moille, Jordan Stone, Michal J. Chojnacky, Curtis Menyuk, Kartik Srinivasan
The phase-coherent frequency division of a stabilized optical reference laser to the microwave domain is made possible by optical-frequency combs (OFCs). OFC-based clockworks lock one comb tooth to a reference laser, which probes a stable atomic transition

High-performance Kerr microresonator optical parametric oscillator on a silicon chip

January 16, 2023
Author(s)
Edgar Perez, Gregory Moille, Xiyuan Lu, Jordan Stone, Feng Zhou, Kartik Srinivasan
Optical parametric oscillation (OPO) is distinguished by its wavelength access, that is, the ability to flexibly generate coherent laser light at wavelengths that are dramatically different from the pump laser, and in principle bounded solely by energy

Efficient chip-based optical parametric oscillators from 590 nm to 1150 nm

December 2, 2022
Author(s)
Jordan Stone, Xiyuan Lu, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan
Optical parametric oscillators are a ubiquitous technology used to generate coherent light at frequencies not accessible by conventional laser gain. However, chip-based parametric oscillators operating in the visible spectrum have suffered from pump-to

Ultra-broadband Kerr microcomb through soliton spectral translation

December 14, 2021
Author(s)
Gregory Moille, Edgar Perez, Jordan Stone, Ashutosh Rao, Xiyuan Lu, Tahmid Rahman, Yanne Chembo, Kartik Srinivasan
Broad bandwidth and stable microresonator frequency combs are critical for optical atomic clocks, optical frequency synthesis, dual comb spectroscopy, and a host of other applications that require accurate and precise optical frequency measurements in a

Inverse-designed multi-dimensional silicon photonic transmitters

March 25, 2021
Author(s)
Travis Briles, Jordan Stone, Scott Papp
Modern microelectronic processors have migrated towards parallel computing architectures with many-core processors. However, such expansion comes with diminishing returns exacted by the high cost of data movement between individual processors. The use of

Harnessing dispersion in soliton microcombs to mitigate thermal noise

October 5, 2020
Author(s)
Jordan Stone, Scott Papp
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 environment to

Direct kerr-frequency comb atomic spectroscopy

February 28, 2020
Author(s)
Liron Stern, Jordan R. Stone, Songbai Kang, Daniel C. Cole, Zachary L. Newman, Kerry Vahala
Microresonator-based soliton frequency combs- microcombs -have recently emerged to offer low- noise, photonic-chip sources for optical measurements. Owing to nonlinear-optical physics, microcombs can be built with various materials 1-3 and tuned or

Terahertz-Rate Kerr-Microresonator Optical Clockwork

August 12, 2019

Tara E. Drake, Travis Briles, Daryl T. Spencer II, Jordan R. Stone, David R. Carlson, Daniel D. Hickstein, Qing Li, Daron A. Westly, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
Kerr microresonators generate interesting and useful fundamental states of electromagnetic radiation through nonlinear interactions of continuous-wave (CW) laser light. When implemented with photonic-integration techniques, functional devices with low

Architecture for the photonic integration of an optical atomic clock

Zachary L. Newman, Vincent N. Maurice, Tara E. Drake, Jordan R. Stone, Travis Briles, Daryl T. Spencer II, Connor D. Fredrick, Qing Li, Daron A. Westly, Bojan R. Ilic, B. Shen, M.-G Suh, K. Y. Yang, C Johnson, D.M. S. Johnson, Leo Hollberg, K. Vahala, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Scott A. Diddams, John E. Kitching, Scott B. Papp, Matthew T. Hummon
Optical atomic clocks, which rely on high-frequency, narrow-line optical transitions to stabilize a clock laser, outperform their microwave counterparts by several orders of magnitude due to their inherently large quality factors. Optical clocks based on

Reversible Kerr-soliton generation

October 16, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel C. Cole, Jordan R. Stone, Scott B. Papp
We demonstrate deterministic and reversible generation of single Kerr-microresonator solitons using a phase-modulated pump laser. In agreement with simulations, modulation enables soliton generation from a below-threshold background and provides control of

Thermal and Nonlinear Dissipative-Soliton Dynamics in Kerr Microresonator Frequency Combs

August 8, 2018
Author(s)
Jordan R. Stone, Travis Briles, Tara E. Drake, Daryl T. Spencer, David R. Carlson, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
We report on radiofrequency techniques to reliably generate and control dissipative-Kerr- soliton microresonator frequency combs. Since the pump-laser frequency detuning to the resonator primarily determines the soliton dynamics, we devise an offset Pound

Accurate optical stabilization of a Kerr-microresonator frequency comb
