Abstract
Kerr resonators are simple and compact devices that enable ultrashort pulse and frequency comb generation over a wide range of wavelength and pulse parameters that are difficult to access with traditional mode-locked laser sources. Pulse generation in these systems derives from the formation of stable optical solitons. The pulse performance can be enhanced by exploiting novel classes of optical solitons. This talk will examine recently discovered cavity solitons in fiber Kerr resonators, including stretched-pulse and chirped pulse solitons. Stretched-pulse solitons in dispersion-managed systems enable record short pulses from Kerr resonators and chirped pulsed solitons in normal-dispersion cavities have the potential to stabilize much higher pulse energies. This talk will also examine the most recent results for pulse performance enhancement in stretched-pulse systems and the remarkable tolerance for dissipation of chirped-pulse Kerr resonator solitons.
