TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the first experimental observation of temporal cavity solitons, which are packets of light persisting in a continuously driven nonlinear resonator and are used to demonstrate storage of a data stream for more than a second.

TL;DR: This work takes a different approach to spectral broadening of mid-infrared frequency combs and investigates CMOS-compatible highly nonlinear dispersion-engineered silicon nanophotonic waveguides on a silicon-on-insulator chip and demonstrates phase-coherent comb spectra broadened on a room-temperature-operating CMos-compatible chip.

TL;DR: An experimental observation of an oscillating Kerr cavity soliton, i.e., a time-periodic oscillating one-dimensional temporally localized structure excited in a driven nonlinear fiber cavity with a Kerr-type nonlinearity is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of silicon and silicon nitride (Si3N4) integrated photonic integrated circuits for various spectroscopic sensing applications is presented, including waveguide-based absorption and Raman and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

TL;DR: The generation of an octave spanning supercontinuum covering 488-978 nm (at -30 dB) is demonstrated for the first time on-chip for biophotonic applications and frequency metrology.
