摘要： Dissipative structures are the result of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a dynamic open system, which is induced by either the nonlinear effect or loss fluctuations. While optical temporal dissipative solitons in nonlinear Kerr cavities has been widely studied, they are operated in a red-detuned regime that is non-trivial to access. Here, we demonstrate an emergent dissipative soliton state in optical cavities in the presence of loss fluctuations, which is accessible by self-evolution of the system and is operated in resonance. We numerically investigate both the effect of loss modulation and the effect of saturable absorption, based on a standard dissipative and Kerr-nonlinear microresonator model, and observe stable soliton states in a close-to-zero detuning region. The self-starting soliton state working in resonance is potentially of wide interest, which would not only ease the operation for ultrafast temporal soliton generation, but also imply a high conversion efficiency for soliton micro-combs.

摘要： Two-photon excitation spectroscopy is a nonlinear technique that has gained rapidly in interest and significance for studying the complex energy-level structure and transition probabilities of materials. While the conventional spectroscopy based on tunable classical light has been long established, quantum light provides an alternative way towards excitation spectroscopy with potential advantages in temporal and spectral resolution, as well as reduced photon fluxes. By using a quantum Fourier transform that connects the sum-frequency intensity and N00N-state temporal interference, we present an approach for quantum interferometric two-photon excitation spectroscopy. Our proposed protocol overcomes the difficulties of engineering two-photon joint spectral intensities and fine-tuned absorption-frequency selection. These results may significantly facilitate the use of quantum interferometric spectroscopy for extracting the information about the electronic structure of the two-photon excited-state manifold of atoms or molecules, in a "single-shot" measurement. This may be particularly relevant for photon-sensitive biological and chemical samples.
