Kerr frequency combs from on-chip, integrated microresonators
© 2016 EPFL
We are very pleased to announce and cordially invite you to our monthly EPFL Photonics Chapter (EPC) 'Pizza-optics-beer' (POB) seminar on March 9th, 2016 (Wednesday) at 18h15 (6.15pm). The seminar will take place in the room CM1104. This month Victor Brasch will give us some insights in his field of expertise. His presentation is entitled: “Kerr frequency combs from on-chip, integrated microresonators”.
His research was recently highlighted on EPFL website: A tiny ring that produces light pulses
Abstract:
Optical frequency combs are powerful tools to link optical frequencies to radio frequencies. While traditional frequency combs are generated using conventional pulsed laser systems, Kerr frequency combs rely on nonlinear interactions inside optical microresonators to generate broadband spectra. I show some of the recent results from Kerr frequency combs in integrated microresonators which include demonstrations of applications as well as demonstrations of fundamental nonlinear effects.
