Conversion efficiency of soliton Kerr combs

Journal Article Jang, Jae K. ; Okawachi, Yoshitomo ; Zhao, Yun ; ... - Optics Letters

We investigate the conversion efficiency (CE) of soliton modelocked Kerr frequency combs. Our analysis reveals three distinct scaling regimes of CE with the cavity free spectral range (FSR), which depends on the relative contributions of the coupling and propagation loss to the total cavity loss. Our measurements, for the case of critical coupling, verify our theoretical prediction over a range of FSRs and pump powers. Our numerical simulations also indicate that mode crossings have an adverse effect on the achievable CE. Our results indicate that microresonator combs operating with spacings in the electronically detectable regime are highly inefficient, which couldmore »« less

Synchronization of nonsolitonic Kerr combs

Journal Article Kim, Bok Young ; Jang, Jae K. ; Okawachi, Yoshitomo ; ... - Science Advances

Synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature that manifests as the spectral or temporal locking of coupled nonlinear oscillators. In the field of photonics, synchronization has been implemented in various laser and oscillator systems, enabling applications including coherent beam combining and high-precision pump-probe measurements. Recent experiments have also shown time-domain synchronization of Kerr frequency combs via coupling of two separate oscillators operating in the dissipative soliton [i.e., anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD)] regime. Here, we demonstrate all-optical synchronization of Kerr combs in the nonsolitonic, normal GVD regime in which phase-locked combs with high pump-to-comb conversion efficiencies and relatively flat spectralmore »« less

High-Efficiency Quantum Dot Lasers as Comb Sources for DWDM Applications

Journal Article Dumont, Mario ; Liu, Songtao ; Kennedy, M. J. ; ... - Applied Sciences

The trend of data center transceivers is to increase bandwidth while simultaneously decreasing their size, power consumption, and cost. While data center links have previously relied on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) or in-plane lasers using coarse wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) to encode data, recently, dense WDM (DWDM) has moved to the forefront for next-generation links. Several approaches exist as light sources for DWDM links; DFB arrays, nonlinear microcombs, and semiconductor mode-locked lasers (MLLs). This paper focuses on quantum dot MLLs (QDMLLs), which currently offer the best efficiency, simplicity, and size. The efficiency of optical combs generated by QDMLLs is analyzedmore » in depth in this study.« less

Coherent Combining for High‐Power Kerr Combs

Journal Article Kim, Bok Young ; Okawachi, Yoshitomo ; Jang, Jae K. ; ... - Laser & Photonics Reviews

Abstract Kerr frequency combs enable the miniaturization of comb sources for applications such as data communications and spectroscopy. However, due to the high field confinement and effective nonlinearity, Kerr combs typically operate with low output comb powers. While nonsolitonic Kerr combs operating in the normal group velocity dispersion (GVD) regime can access high pump‐to‐comb conversion efficiencies and relatively flat spectral profiles, many frequency comb applications require even higher comb‐line powers that are otherwise fundamentally unattainable without the use of optical amplifiers. A high efficient coherent beam combining of Kerr combs is demonstrated via on‐chip synchronization to greatly enhanced comb‐line powers.more »« less
