Generation of platicons and frequency combs in optical microresonators with normal GVD by modulated pump (1508.06850v3)
Published 27 Aug 2015 in physics.optics
Abstract: We demonstrate that flat-topped dissipative solitonic pulses, platicons, and corresponding frequency combs can be excited in optical microresonators with normal group velocity dispersion using either amplitude modulation of the pump or bichromatic pump. Soft excitation may occur in particular frequency range if modulation depth is large enough and modulation frequency is close to the free spectral range of the microresonator.
