Kerr microcombs are sets of equidistant spectral lines generated via pumping a high-Q microresonator with a resonant continuous-wave single-mode laser. They have arguably created a new field in cavity ...

Over the past decades, researchers have demonstrated conventional solitons, stretched pulses, self-similar pulses, and dissipative solitons by managing the dispersion and nonlinearity of fiber lasers.

HOLMDEL, N.J. — Researchers at Lucent Technologies have devised a method of generating optical-fiber nonlinearities at levels usually unattainable in practical devices. The work was done as part of an ...
