CLEO 2024

Excited to share the most recent news from the participation at one of the most prestigious global conferences with a long history as the industry’s leading event on laser science, the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) represents the premier international forum for scientific and technical optics, uniting the fields of lasers and opto-electronics by bringing together all aspects of laser technology, from basic research to industry applications. 

At this year’s CLEO US held from May 5th to May 10th, the SoFiN project was represented by the technical partner NKT Photonics where key results of the work developed by the NKT research team as part of the project were presented by Dr. Angelo Manetta with a poster on “Active stabilisation of normal-dispersion microcombs” to introduce the study on methods to extend the operation time of the generated soliton states and a presentation on the contributed paper “Reducing Frequency Noise in Dark-Pulse Kerr Combs”, with the opportunity for Angelo to introduce the investigations performed on the impact of pump-resonance detuning on various soliton properties in dual ring microresonators. Within this work, the bandwidth, conversion efficiency, repetition frequency, spectral envelope and comb line noise were further characterised and low noise states identified.
