On the transition to secondary Kerr combs in whispering-gallery mode resonators

Aurélien Coillet, Zhen Qi, Irina V. Balakireva, Guoping Lin, Curtis R. Menyuk, and Yanne K. Chembo

Abstract

We demonstrate that extended dissipative structures in Kerr-nonlinear whispering-gallery mode resonators undergo a spatiotemporal instability, as the pumping parameters are varied. We show that the dynamics of the patterns beyond this bifurcation yield specific Kerr comb and sub-comb spectra that can be subjected to a phase of frequency-locking when optimal conditions are met. Our numerical results are found to be in agreement with experimental measurements.
