High-resolution broadband characterization of resonance dispersion in an optical microresonator

Accurate knowledge of the uneven free spectral range of an optical microresonator, which provides direct insight into group velocity dispersion, is essential for understanding and controlling Kerr frequency comb dynamics. In this work, we present a simple and highly precise method formeasuring the free spectral range over a 5 THz bandwidth in silicon nitride microresonators, leveraging a wavemeter with 0.4 MHz resolution. Our fully fibered plug-and-play experimental setup enables the accurate extraction of resonance frequencies. By carefully analyzing the spectral position of each resonance, we measure both second- and third-order free spectral range expansion coefficients. This approach offers a robust and accessible tool for dispersion characterization in integrated photonic circuits, paving the way for next-generation of Kerr comb sources and quantum photonic technologies.

Multipartite quantum correlated bright frequency combs

This experimental work demonstrates multipartite quantum correlation in bright frequency combs out of a microresonator integrated on silicon nitride operating above its oscillation threshold. Multipartite features, going beyond so far reported two-mode correlation, naturally arise due to a cascade of non-linear optical processes, making a single-color laser pump sufficient to initiate their generation. Our results show the transition from two-mode to multipartite correlation, witnessed by noise reductions as low as $-2.5$\,dB and $-2$\,dB, respectively, compared to corresponding classical levels. A constant of the movement of the non-linear interaction Hamiltonian is identified and used to asses the multipartite behavior. Reported demonstrations pave the way to next generation on-chip multipartite sources for quantum technologies applications.

Multipartite Entanglement in Bright Frequency Combs from Microresonators

We present a theoretical model of multimode quantum correlations in bright frequency combs generated in continuous-wave regime by microresonators above threshold. Our analysis shows how these correlations emerge from cascading four-wave mixing processes fed by the input pump as well as the generated bright beams. Logarithmic negativity criterion is employed to quantify entanglement between partitions of modes, demonstrating the transition from a bipartite regime just above the oscillation threshold to the multipartite one at higher input pump powers. Due to its generality, our model can be safely used to describe other kinds of non-linear $\chi$ (3) cavities.

Effective bath model for arrays of coupled non-Hermitian nanoresonators

Nanophotonics systems have recently been studied under the perspective of non-Hermitian physics. Given their potential for wavefront control, nonlinear optics and quantum optics, it is crucial to develop predictive tools to assist their design. We present here a simple model relying on the coupling to an effective bath consisting of a continuum of modes to describe systems of coupled resonators, and test it on dielectric nanocylinder chains accessible to experiments. The effective coupling constants, which depend non-trivially on the distance between resonators, are extracted from numerical simulations in the case of just two coupled elements. The model predicts successfully the dispersive and reactive nature of modes for configurations with multiple resonators, as validated by numerical solutions. It can be applied to larger systems, which are hardly solvable with finite-element approaches.
