Dissipative Kerr Solitons in Photonic Chip-based Microresonators

Since their discovery microresonator-based frequency combs have drawn a lot of interest due to their compact form factor and potential for integration. We report on the recent progress regarding dissipative Kerr solitons generated from photonic chip-based microresonators and their use in different fields of application.
