Parametrically driven pure-Kerr dissipative solitons in a chip-integrated microcavity

March 14, 2024
Author(s)
Gregory Moille, Miriam Leonhardt, David Paligora, Nicolas Englebert, Francois Leo, Julien Fatome, Kartik Srinivasan, Miro Erkintalo
The discovery that externally-driven nonlinear optical resonators can sustain ultrashort pulses cor- responding to coherent optical frequency combs has enabled landmark advances in applications from telecommunications to sensing. The research focus has

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

Predicting broadband resonator-waveguide coupling for microresonator frequency combs through fully connected and recurrent neural networks with and without attention mechanism

May 24, 2023
Author(s)
Ergun Simsek, Masoud Soroush, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan, Curtis Menyuk
Broadband microresonator frequency combs are being intensely pursued for deployable technologies like optical atomic clocks. Spectral features, such as the dispersion in their coupling to an access waveguide, are critical for engineering these devices for

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

Direct laser writing (DLW) has recently been used to create versatile micro-optic structures that facilitate photonic-chip coupling, like free-form lenses, free-form mirrors, and photonic wirebonds. However, at the edges of photonic chips, the top-down/off

December 4, 2020
Author(s)
Qing Li, Gregory Moille, Hossein Taheri, Ali Adibi, Kartik Srinivasan
Coupled-mode theory has been widely used in optics and photonics design. Despite its popularity, several different formulations of coupled-mode theory exist in the literature and their applicable range is not entirely clear, in particular when it comes to

November 2, 2020
Author(s)
Xiyuan Lu, Gregory Moille, Ashutosh Rao, Daron Westly, Kartik Srinivasan
Silicon photonics lacks a second-order nonlinear optical (chi(2)) response in general because the typical constituent materials are centro-symmetric and lack inversion symmetry, which prohibits chi(2) nonlinear processes such as second harmonic generation
