“…5). However, generation of solitonic pulses or platicons [46,47] is not observed for the studied parameters. The parameters of the generated primary frequency comb (or Turing patterns in temporal representation) also depend on the linear coupling coefficient of the forward and backward waves.…”

We introduce the first principle model describing frequency comb generation in a WGM microresonator with the backscattering-induced coupling between the counter-propagating waves. Elaborated model provides deep insight and accurate description of the complex dynamics of nonlinear processes in such systems. We analyse the backscattering impact on the splitting and reshaping of the nonlinear resonances, demonstrate backscattering-induced modulational instability in the normal dispersion regime and subsequent frequency comb generation. We present and discuss novel features of the soliton comb dynamics induced by the backward wave.

“…5). In (124), it was demonstrated that the dynamics of platicons in the presence of the third-order dispersion is quite peculiar and drastically different from bright solitons. In (125), a possibility of stable coexistence of dark and bright solitons in case of nonzero third-order dispersion was revealed.…”

The development of compact, chip-scale optical frequency comb sources (microcombs) based on parametric frequency conversion in microresonators has seen applications in terabit optical coherent communications, atomic clocks, ultrafast distance measurements, dual-comb spectroscopy, and the calibration of astophysical spectrometers and have enabled the creation of photonic-chip integrated frequency synthesizers. Underlying these recent advances has been the observation of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in microresonators, which represent self-enforcing, stationary, and localized solutions of a damped, driven, and detuned nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which was first introduced to describe spatial self-organization phenomena. The generation of dissipative Kerr solitons provide a mechanism by which coherent optical combs with bandwidth exceeding one octave can be synthesized and have given rise to a host of phenomena, such as the Stokes soliton, soliton crystals, soliton switching, or dispersive waves. Soliton microcombs are compact, are compatible with wafer-scale processing, operate at low power, can operate with gigahertz to terahertz line spacing, and can enable the implementation of frequency combs in remote and mobile environments outside the laboratory environment, on Earth, airborne, or in outer space.

“…17 (c). Before closing this Section, we emphasize that while we have focused our discussion here on anomalous-dispersion microcombs, frequency comb formation in microresonators with normal GVD has been studied in detail as well [303][304][305][306][307][308][309][310][311][312]. An example is shown in Fig.…”

The experimental realization of a Kerr frequency comb represented the convergence of research in materials, physics, and engineering, and this symbiotic relationship continues to underpin efforts in comb innovation today. While the initial focus developing cavity-based frequency combs relied on existing microresonator architectures and classic optical materials, in recent years, this trend has been disrupted. This paper reviews the latest achievements in frequency comb generation using resonant cavities, placing them within the broader historical context of the field. After presenting well-established material systems and device designs, the emerging materials and device architectures are examined. Specifically, the unconventional material systems as well as atypical device designs that have enabled tailored dispersion profiles and improved comb performance are compared to the current state of art. The remaining challenges and future outlook for the field of cavity-based frequency combs is evaluated.
