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 …

The model, that is usually called the Lugiato–Lefever equation (LLE), was introduced in
1987 with the aim of providing a paradigm for dissipative structure and pattern formation in …

Dissipative solitons are self-localized coherent structures arising from the balance between
energy supply and dissipation. Besides stationary dissipative solitons, there are dynamical …

We report on the experimental and numerical observations of synchronization and
desynchronization of bound states of multiple breathing solitons (breathing soliton …

Nonlinear systems with two competing frequencies show locking or resonances. In lasers,
the two interacting frequencies can be the cavity repetition rate and a frequency externally …

Continuous-wave laser-driven, high-Q Kerr–nonlinear optical microresonators have enabled
the generation of optical frequency combs, ultralow-noise microwaves and ultrashort optical …

Bound states of solitons (“molecules”) occur in various settings, playing an important role in
the operation of fiber lasers, optical emulation, encoding, and communications. Soliton …

Dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators combine nonlinear optical physics with
photonic-integrated technologies. They are promising for a number of applications ranging …

We investigate, numerically and experimentally, the effect of thermo-optical (TO) chaos on
soliton generation dynamics in microresonators. Numerical simulations that include the …

Breathing solitons are nonlinear waves in which the energy concentrates in a localized and
oscillatory fashion. Similarly to stationary solitons, breathers in dissipative systems can form …
