Raman self-frequency-shift of soliton crystal in a high index doped silica micro-ring resonator [Invited]

Abstract

High index doped silica glass exhibiting low loss property and CMOS compatibility is a promising material in nonlinear optics. In this work, mode-locked soliton crystals (SCs) are demonstrated in a high-Q (> 106) micro-ring resonator (MRR) made in this platform. The asymmetric spectra of SCs are numerically investigated and interpreted as the combined impact of Raman self-frequency shift (RSFS) and the wavelength-dependent loss. By precisely comparing the experimental and simulated spectra based on the perturbed Lugiato-Lefever equation (LLE), the Raman shock time is inferred to be at the range of 2.5 fs to 2.7 fs for this material. © 2018.
