Optical frequency combs (OFCs) are broadband coherent light sources composed of tens to thousands of equally spaced narrow spectral lines that have revolutionised many optical metrology tasks. OFCs have been demonstrated using a soliton circulating in an externally driven passive Kerr resonator. Standard cavity solitons are produced in optical cavities with anomalous dispersion and are...

Optical frequency combs generated in driven passive microresonators are central to applications in spectroscopy, metrology, and communications, and are promising for on-chip integration [1]. These microcombs often take the form of soliton crystals (SCs), ordered ensembles of ultrashort pulses known as cavity solitons [1,2]. In microresonators, SC formation is usually enabled by avoided mode...

External injection into mode-locked laser using continuous-wave (CW) or coherent pulsed lasers has become one of the most widely adopted approaches for generating phase-locked optical pulses. Existing techniques typically rely on injecting CW beams close to the central frequency of the mode-locked pulses. The resulted phase-locking is generally limited to the local spectral components of the...

Fractional derivatives, particularly fractional Laplacian operators, have attracted growing interest across physics, mathematics, and engineering [1]. In nonlinear optics, they provide a route to generalize the conventional nonlinear Schrödinger equation by replacing the conventional quadratic dispersion with a fractional, nonlocal dispersion law, described by the operator...
