The quest towards the integration of ultra-fast, high-precision optical clocks is reflected in the
large number of high-impact papers on the topic published in the last few years. This interest …

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

Dielectric microcavities with quality factors (Q-factors) in the thousands to billions markedly
enhance light–matter interactions, with applications spanning high-efficiency on-chip lasing …

Microlasers have experienced tremendous development in the past decade and become an
essential part in laser evolution, as miniature lasers provide strong optical confinement and …

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 …

Optical microcavities confine light to small volumes by resonant recirculation. Devices based
on optical microcavities are already indispensable for a wide range of applications and …

The circulation of light within dielectric volumes enables storage of optical power near
specific resonant frequencies and is important in a wide range of fields including cavity …

As stability and continuous operation are important for almost any use of a microcavity, we
demonstrate here experimentally and theoretically a self-stable equilibrium solution for a …
