Power-efficient silicon nitride soliton microcombs

Microcombs are strong contenders for attaining the frequency stability and performance of standard passively modelocked lasers on a chip scale. Understanding the optical phase noise dynamics in soliton microcombs and enhancing the power efficiency are crucial directions for the development of ultra-low timing jitter pulsed sources on-chip with enhanced repetition rate stability and ultra-low optical linewidth.

3D integration enabling ultra-low noise isolator-free lasers in silicon photonics

Laser integration in silicon photonics has been tackled by heterogeneous integration with compound III-V materials. The availability of ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides offer the possibilities in enabling ultra low noise lasers, through self-injection locking of lasers with ultra-high-Q microresonators.
