Spectral Purification of Microwave Signals with Disciplined Dissipative Kerr Solitons
Continuous-wave-driven Kerr nonlinear microresonators give rise to self-organization in terms of dissipative Kerr solitons, which constitute optical frequency combs that can be used to generate low-noise microwave signals. Here, by applying either amplitude or phase modulation to the driving laser we create an intracavity potential trap, to discipline the repetition …
