“…The oscillation is similar to modulation instability lasing [6][7][8][9] and parametric oscillation in optical fibers [10][11][12][13][14]. The nonlinear process can be described using externally driven damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with periodical boundary conditions [15] and, hence, is closely related to the nonlinear phenomena observed in a variety of physical systems [16][17][18][19], including dipolar excitations in one-dimensional condensates [20], optical soliton propagation in a dispersive ring cavity in the presence of an input forcing beam [21], a long Josephson junction in a periodic field [22], easy-axis ferromagnets in a rotating magnetic field perpendicular to the easy axis [23,24], and plasmas driven with radio-frequency radiation [26].…”

We theoretically study the stability conditions and excitation regimes of hyperparametric oscillation and Kerr frequency comb generation in continuously pumped nonlinear optical microresonators possessing an anomalous group velocity dispersion. We show that both hard and soft excitation regimes are possible in the microresonators. Selection between the regimes is achieved via change in the parameters of the pumping light.

“…The oscillations occurring in coherently driven passive optical fiber resonators were studied from the perspective of temporal cavity solitons [62,63], belonging to a general class of dissipative solitons [64], modulation instability lasers [65][66][67][68][69] as well as parametric oscillators [70][71][72][73][74].…”

Optical frequency combs have become indispensable in astronomical measurements, biological fingerprinting, optical metrology, and radio frequency photonic signal generation. Recently demonstrated microring resonator-based Kerr frequency combs point the way towards chip scale optical frequency comb generator retaining major properties of the lab scale devices. This technique is promising for integrated miniature radiofrequency and microwave sources, atomic clocks, optical references and femtosecond pulse generators. Here we present Kerr frequency comb development in a historical perspective emphasizing its similarities and differences with other physical phenomena. We elucidate fundamental principles and describe practical implementations of Kerr comb oscillators, highlighting associated solved and unsolved problems.

“…Many of other studies were interested in the cavity design in order to achieve doubly resonant OPOs, very interesting for there lower threshold particularly for continuous wave operation [12][13][14]. Triply resonant OPOs are also achieved, in which the pump, the signal, and the idler are simultaneously resonant [15][16][17]. The PPLN demonstrated that it is the ideal crystal to generate in the mid-infrared range (2-4) μm above 1 μJ energy per pulse.…”

Multi-resonant optical parametric oscillator based on 2D-PPLT nonlinear photonic crystal

et al. 2015

The aim of this work is to achieve an optical parametric oscillator based on two-dimensional periodically poled lithium tantalate (2D-PPLT) crystals that are designed to allow multiple reciprocal lattice-vector contribution to the quasi-phase matching scheme. We are particularly interested in the effect of the multi-wavelength parametric generation performed by the 2D nonlinear photonic crystal to achieve a multi-resonant optical parametric oscillator. The performances are studied in terms of generation efficiency and multi-wavelength generation.

Widely-tunable triply-resonant optical parametric ring oscillator

Abstract: We present a widely-tunable low-threshold all-fiber optical parametric ring oscillator that is resonant for the pump wavelength and the two sidebands. For some detunings, threshold can be achieved with as little as 0.7W peak power.
