title = "Observation of laser-cavity solitons in micro-resonators",
abstract = "Optical frequency combs based on micro-cavity resonators, also known as 'micro-combs', are ready to achieve the full capability of their bulk counterparts but on an integrated footprint [1]. They have enabled major breakthroughs in spectroscopy, communications, microwave photonics, frequency synthesis, optical ranging, quantum sources and metrology. Of particular relevance was the recent experimental implementation of temporal cavity-solitons [2,3]. Temporal cavity-solitons in micro-resonators are described by the well-known Lugiato-Lefever equation. Currently, these self-localised waves form on top of a strong background of radiation, usually containing 95% of the total power [4] and require active control of an external driving laser - a complex process which limits the choice of fundamental parameters such as the repetition-rate. Developing simple methods for controlling and generating highly efficient, self-localised pulses is one of the most compelling challenges to overcome, in anticipation of the widespread use of micro-combs outside of laboratory environments.",
