Frequency comb generation through the locking of domain walls in doubly resonant dispersive optical parametric oscillators

Opt Lett. 2019 Apr 15;44(8):2004-2007. doi: 10.1364/OL.44.002004.

Abstract

In this Letter we theoretically investigate the formation of localized temporal dissipative structures, and their corresponding frequency combs in doubly resonant dispersive optical parametric oscillators. We derive a nonlocal mean field model, and show that domain wall locking allows for the formation of stable coherent optical frequency combs.
