Microresonator Soliton Frequency Comb

Optical frequency combs in high-Q microresonators can advance timekeeping and frequency metrology, which are amenable to full photonic integration, low power consumption, large bandwidth and high repetition-rate. We will discuss the soliton regime behind such micro-combs and review their applications.
