This chapter describes the discovery and stable generation of temporal dissipative Kerr
solitons in continuous‐wave (CW) laser‐driven optical microresonators. The experimental …

Detection of nanoscale objects is highly desirable in various fields such as early‐stage
disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring and homeland security. Optical microcavity …

Advanced applications in optical metrology demand improved lasers with high spectral
purity, in form factors that are small and insensitive to environmental perturbations. While …

Optical whispering gallery modes (WGMs) derive their name from a famous acoustic
phenomenon of guiding a wave by a curved boundary observed nearly a century ago. This …

Whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical microresonators have attracted intense interests in
the past decades. The combination of high quality factors (Q) and small mode volumes of …

On-chip optical waveguides with low propagation losses and precisely engineered group
velocity dispersion are important to nonlinear photonic devices such as soliton microcombs …

The stabilization and manipulation of laser frequency by means of an external cavity are
nearly ubiquitously used in fundamental research and laser applications. While most of the …
