Abstract

We generalize the coupled mode formalism to study the generation of frequency combs in microresonators with simultaneous Raman and Kerr nonlinearities and investigate an impact of the former on the formation of frequency combs and dynamics of platicons in the regime of the normal group velocity dispersion. We demonstrate that the Raman effect initiates generation of sidebands, which cascade further in four-wave mixing and reshape into the Raman-Kerr frequency combs. We reveal that the Raman scattering induces a strong instability of the platicon pulses associated with the Kerr effect and normal dispersion. This instability results in branching of platicons and complex spatiotemporal dynamics.

Figures (6)

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 A schematic representation of Raman scattering in microresonators. The Raman peak covers several free spectral ranges (FSR) in a large diameter microresonator. ΩR is the detuning of the Raman peak from the pump frequency ( Ω R 2 π = 9.66   THzfor CaF2 and 12.3 THz for MgF2).

Fig. 2
Fig. 2 Optical spectrum for the primary Stokes line formation for GR = 120 (a) and GR = 160 (b). The Raman peak overlaps the mode with μs = −198, the width of the Raman gain γ̃ = 1.5, ζ = 0.02. The anti-Stokes line is strongly suppressed. The Raman FWM between the pump mode and the Stokes mode creates an anti-Stokes peak at the mode number μas = 202 and cascades a peak with frequency such as ωcascade is divisible by the Raman frequency. Spectral lines around the Raman peak are shown in the insets.

Fig. 3
Fig. 3 The comb spectrum is generated by a combination of the Raman scattering, which downshifts its frequency and nondegenerate four-wave mixing processes in which all four photons have different frequencies. Insets show energy level diagrams for the Raman scattering and four-wave mixing processes. The Raman part of the FWM plays a dominant role in the spectrum formation.
