Photonic chip–based optical frequency comb using soliton Cherenkov radiation

V Brasch, M Geiselmann, T Herr, G Lihachev… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Optical solitons are propagating pulses of light that retain their shape because nonlinearity
and dispersion balance each other. In the presence of higher-order dispersion, optical …
