Photonic Dissipation Control for Kerr Soliton Generation in Strongly Raman-Active Media.
2020
Microcavity solitons enable miniaturized coherent frequency comb sources. However, the formation of microcavity solitons can be disrupted by stimulated Raman scattering, particularly in the emerging crystalline microcomb materials with high Raman gain. Here, we propose and implement dissipation control-tailoring the energy dissipation of selected cavity modes-to purposely raise or lower the threshold of Raman lasing in a strongly Raman-active lithium niobate microring resonator and realize on-demand soliton mode locking or Raman lasing. Numerical simulations are carried out to confirm our analyses and agree well with experiment results. Our work demonstrates an effective approach to address strong stimulated Raman scattering for microcavity soliton generation.
