Design and pulse-formation properties of chirped pulse Kerr solitons.

ABSTRACT: Kerr resonators generate stable frequency combs and ultrashort pulses with applications in telecommunications, biomedicine, and metrology. Chirped pulse solitons recently observed in normal dispersion Kerr resonators with an intracavity spectral filter can enable new material design freedom, reduced fabrication requirements, and the potential for improved ultrashort pulse peak powers. This study examines the design and formation properties of chirped-pulse Kerr solitons essential for enabling these advances. First, prior theoretical predictions that chirped pulse solitons are relatively insensitive to cavity loss and the strength of the dispersion map are experimentally validated. The loss insensitivity property is applied toward demonstrating high energy pulses in a cavity with large outp
