Abstract

Optical microcavities relying on the Kerr nonlinear effect can generate coherent light sources including parametric oscillations and Kerr optical frequency combs, which have become a cutting-edge research hotspot in integrated photonics. This talk will overview the latest advances in Kerr parametric light sources, with special emphasis on high-power parametric oscillators and narrow-linewidth light sources enabled by parametric gain.Time: 10:00, Friday, June 5, 2026 Venue: Meeting Room 210, Electronics Building, Jiulonghu Campus, Southeast University
