BACKGROUND The generation and control of coherent electromagnetic waves, such as
those provided by electronic oscillators in the radio frequency domain or lasers in the optical …

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 …

In many disciplines, states that emerge in open systems far from equilibrium are determined
by a few global parameters,. These states can often mimic thermodynamic equilibrium, a …

Laser cavity-solitons can appear in a microresonator-filtered laser when judiciously
balancing the slow nonlinearities of the system. Under certain conditions, such optical states …

Micro-combs-optical frequency combs generated by integrated micro-cavity resonators–offer
the full potential of their bulk counterparts, but in an integrated footprint. They have enabled …

Coherent ranging, also known as frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) laser-
based light detection and ranging (lidar) is used for long-range three-dimensional distance …

Microwave photonic technologies, which upshift the carrier into the optical domain, have
facilitated the generation and processing of ultra-wideband electronic signals at vastly …

Microcavity-based frequency combs, or 'microcombs',, have enabled many fundamental
breakthroughs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,–through the discovery of temporal cavity-solitons. These self …

Microcombs based on Turing patterns have been extensively studied in configurations that
can be modeled by the Lugiato-Lefever equation. Typically, such schemes are implemented …

Laser cavity-solitons can appear in systems comprised of a nonlinear microcavity nested
within an amplifying fiber loop. These states are robust and self-emergent and constitute an …
