Abstract

We demonstrate the generation of Kerr frequency combs with controllable intracavity soliton states by seeding the single continuous wave (CW) driven two coupled nonlinear microresonators with a pulsed trigger. The stable one-, two-, or three-soliton frequency comb can be realized deterministically simply by adjusting the pulse intensity of the trigger signal. Numerical simulations show that the generation of the mode-locked soliton frequency combs is robust without going through any instability or chaotic states. These results provide a means for the deterministic and controllable generation of optical Kerr frequency combs on integrated chips.
