We report the soliton frequency comb generation in microring optical parametric oscillators operating in the downconversion regime and with the simultaneous presence of the χ and Kerr nonlinearities. The combs are studied considering a typical geometry of a bulk LiNbO toroidal resonator with the normal group velocity dispersion spanning an interval between the pump and the downconverted signal. We have identified critical power signaling a transition between the relatively low pump power predominantly χ combs and the high pump power ones shaped by the competition between the χ and Kerr nonlinearities.

The integration of a photodetector that converts optical signals into electrical signals is essential for scalable integrated lithium niobate photonics. Two-dimensional materials provide a potential high-efficiency on-chip detection capability. Here, we demonstrate an efficient on-chip photodetector based on a few layers of MoTe on a thin film lithium niobate waveguide and integrate it with a microresonator operating in an optical telecommunication band.

With careful design and integration, microring resonators can serve as a promising foundation for developing compact and scalable sources of non-classical light for quantum information processing. However, the current design flow is hindered by computational challenges and a complex, high-dimensional parameter space with interdependent variables. In this work, we present a knowledge-integrated machine learning framework based on Bayesian Optimization for designing squeezed light sources using microring resonators.

The burgeoning volume of parameters in artificial neural network models has posed substantial challenges to conventional tensor computing hardware. Benefiting from the available optical multidimensional information entropy, optical intelligent computing is used as an alternative solution to address the emerging challenges of electrical computing. These limitations, in terms of device size and photonic integration scale, have hindered the performance of optical chips.

Whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators, renowned for their high Q-factors and narrow line widths, are widely utilized in integrated photonics. Integrating diffraction gratings onto WGM cavities has gained significant attention because these gratings function as azimuthal refractive index modulators, enabling single-mode WGM emissions and supporting beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM). The introduction of curved grating structures facilitates guided mode resonances by coupling high-order diffracted waves with leaking modes from the waveguide.
