Weng, W.He, J.Kaszubowska-Anandarajah, A.Anandarajah, P.M.Kippenberg, T.J.2022-05-032022-05-032022Physical Review Applied, 2022; 17(2):024030-1-024030-82331-70192331-7019https://hdl.handle.net/2440/134925Using phase-modulation-induced potential gradient whose period is synchronized to a microwave optoelectronic oscillator, dissipative Kerr solitons generated in a crystalline optical microresonator are trapped by the soliton tweezing effect, exhibiting a stabilized soliton repetition rate. In the meantime, side-mode suppression of the microwave signal is enabled by the photodetection of the soliton train. Substantiated both experimentally and theoretically, the hybrid system produces a drift-reduced microcomb and a spectrum-purified optoelectronic oscillator simultaneously, yielding a low-cost toolkit for microwave and optical metrology.en© 2022 American Physical SocietyJournal article10.1103/PhysRevApplied.17.0240302022-04-28603275Weng, W.
