We theoretically investigate a model where Gaussian white noise is added to the coupled-mode equations governing the comb dynamics. This stochastic model allows us to characterize the noise-induced broadening of the spectral lines.
We report experimental observation of subharmonic mode excitation in primary Kerr optical frequency combs generated using crystalline whispering-gallery mode resonators.
We present an explicit description of this quantum system via a frequency-bin state and its density operator, and explore the properties of the eigenkets.
We report some of the latest advances related to the understanding of stochastic and quantum phenomena in optical microresonators, and we relate them as well to some of the main applications in photonic engineering.
