Author(s): Hairun Guo, Erwan Lucas, Martin H. P. Pfeiffer, Maxim Karpov, Miles Anderson, Junqiu Liu, Michael Geiselmann, John D. Jost, and Tobias J. Kippenberg Optical frequency combs, which constitute equally spaced frequency lines, can be generated using temporal dissipative Kerr solitons—stable laser pulses generated in a laser-driven nonlinear microresonator—but these solitons can destabilize and oscillate. A new analysis reveals a novel mechanism that can trigger “soliton breathing,” highlighting the rich nonlinear dynamics of dissipative temporal structures in microresonators and identifying a regime that has to be avoided in applications.
