Anomalous group velocity dispersion is a key parameter for generating bright solitons, and thus wideband Kerr frequency combs. Extension of the frequency combs spectrum to visible wavelengths has been a major challenge because of the strong normal dispersion of conventional photonic materials at these wavelengths. In this paper, we numerically demonstrate a wideband frequency comb extending from near-infrared to visible wavelengths (∼1200 nm to 650 nm). The proposed frequency comb micro-resonator takes advantage of a wideband blue-shifted anomalous dispersion, achieved in an optimized over-etched silicon nitride waveguide and strong power transfer to shorter wavelengths through radiative dispersive waves, achieved by modulating the dispersion in a coupled resonator architecture. We show the possibility of obtaining a close to visible dispersive Cherenkov radiation peak that is only 10 dB below the overall comb peak and can be tuned by adjusting the coupling structure in the coupled resonator architecture.

We observed tunable characteristics of optical frequency combs (OFCs) generated from InGaAs/GaAs double quantum wells (DQWs) asymmetric waveguide two-section mode-locked lasers (TS-MLLs). This involves an asymmetric waveguide mode-locked semiconductor laser (AWML-SL) operating at a center wavelength of net modal gain of approximately 1.06 µm, which indicates a stable pulse shape, with the power-current(P-I) characteristic curve revealing a small difference between forward and reverse drive currents in the gain region.

Time-bin entangled qudits are promising candidates for implementing high-dimensional quantum communications over optical fiber networks with processing rates approaching those of classical telecommunications. However, their use is hindered by phase instability, timing inaccuracy, and low scalability of interferometric schemes needed for time-bin processing.

Driven optical cavities containing a nonlinear medium support stable dissipative solitons, cavity solitons, in the form of bright or dark spots of light on a uniformly-lit background. Broadening effects due to diffraction or group velocity dispersion are balanced by the nonlinear interaction with the medium while cavity losses balance the input energy. The history, properties, physical interpretation and wide application of cavity solitons are reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- A citizen science survey in Poland involved 2169 beekeepers reporting losses of 9466 honey bee colonies from 2017 to 2022, accounting for 12.2% of winter losses.
- Small-scale apiaries experienced the highest loss rates at 14.8%, compared to 11.6% for large-scale and 11.4% for medium-scale apiaries, with the main issues being dead colonies linked to depopulation syndrome or starvation.
- Five management factors were identified, with practices like queen replacement being more frequent in large-scale apiaries, but the overall impact on loss rates varied and was complex depending on the apiary size.

Optical frequency comb synthesizers, operating in the harmonic regime, are metrological sources in which the emitted optical power is concentrated in a few modes, spaced by several multiples of the cavity free spectral range (FSR). This behavior reflects in a large correlation degree and, in principle, in an increased optical power per mode. In miniaturized quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), harmonic frequency combs (HFCs) are hence particularly attracting to explore quantum correlation effects between adjacent harmonic modes, enabled by the inherently large gain media third-order Kerr nonlinearity, even if controlled generation of stable HFCs of predefined order, is typically demanding in such electrically pumped sources.
