Chip-based optical frequency combs for high-capacity optical communications
Current fibre optic communication systems owe their high-capacity abilities to the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technique, which combines data channels running on different wavelengths, and most often requires many individual lasers.

Frequency comb generation by Bloch gain induced giant Kerr nonlinearity [PDF]
Optical nonlinearities are known to provide a coherent coupling between the amplitude and phase of the light, which can result in the formation of periodic waveforms. Lasers that emit such waveforms are referred to as optical frequency combs.

Dynamics of Dark Pulse Affected by Higher-Order Effects in Microresonators
We theoretically investigate dynamics of dark pulse and Raman-Kerr microcombs generation influenced by higher-order effects, including high-order dispersion (HOD), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and self-steepening (SS) effects in silicon ...

Quasi-phase-matched multispectral Kerr frequency comb
We study a new type of Kerr frequency comb where the momentum conservation law is fulfilled by azimuthal modulation of the waveguide dispersion. The concept can expand the parametric range in which a Kerr frequency comb is obtained. In a good agreement with the theoretical analysis, we demonstrate a multispectral Kerr frequency comb covering important ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
