Making and controlling crystals of light
Optical microresonators convert laser light into ultrashort pulses travelling around the resonator’s circumference. These pulses, called “dissipative Kerr solitons”, can propagate in the microresonator maintaining their shape. When solitons exit the microresonator, the output light takes the form of a…
