Tobias Herr,Victor Brasch,John D. Jost,C. Y. Wang,Nikita M. Kondratiev,Michael L. Gorodetsky,Tobias J. Kippenberg +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, temporal dissipative solitons are observed in a nonlinear, high-finesse, optical microresonator driven by a continuous-wave laser, enabling ultrashort pulses to be generated in spectral regimes lacking broadband laser gain media and saturable absorbers.

Ultralow-threshold Raman laser using a spherical dielectric microcavity
TL;DR: This work demonstrates a micrometre-scale, nonlinear Raman source that has a highly efficient pump–signal conversion (higher than 35%) and pump thresholds nearly 1,000 times lower than shown before, which represents a route to compact, ultralow-threshold sources for numerous wavelength bands that are usually difficult to access.

Dissipative Kerr Solitons in Optical Microresonators
TL;DR: The development of microresonator-generated frequency combs is reviewed to map out how understanding and control of their generation is providing a new basis for precision technology and establish a nascent research field at the interface of soliton physics, frequency metrology, and integrated photonics.

Ultimate Q of optical microsphere resonators.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that quality factor Q - (0.8 +/- 0.1) x 10(10) of whispering-gallery modes in fused-silica microspheres at 633 nm, close to the ultimate level determined by fundamental material attenuation as measured in optical fibers, is demonstrated.

Dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators
TL;DR: In this article, the discovery and stable generation of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in continuous-wave (CW) laser driven optical microresonators is described and analytical and numerical descriptions are presented that do not only reproduce qualitative features but can also be used to accurately model and predict the characteristics of experimental systems.
