Thermal and Nonlinear Dissipative-Soliton Dynamics in Kerr-Microresonator Frequency Combs
Thermal and Nonlinear Dissipative-Soliton Dynamics in Kerr-Microresonator Frequency Combs
We explore the dynamical response of dissipative Kerr solitons to changes in pump power and detuning and show how thermal and nonlinear processes couple these parameters to the frequency-comb degrees of freedom. Our experiments are enabled by a Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) stabilization approach that provides on-demand, radio-frequency control of the frequency …
