One arXiv a day keeps the doctor away! Checkout our new study led by @CMasarabi, about cavity solitons formation in optical parametric oscillators 👀

[Nicolas Englebert @Nico_Englebert]

Our new preprint is online! 📢😍 While cavity solitons are usually externally driven (b), we show that parametric driving (a) can lead to a much higher efficiency of energy conversion ⚡⚡#Kerrcomb

Many thanks to the 115 participants of the Frequency Combs⭕️🌈 in Brussels!! 😍😍

Lots of exciting talks, a wonderful poster session, a museum private tour and a nice Belgian dinner, we didn't expect such a success! Looking forward to seeing what's next! 👀@sisseleo @BartKuyken

[Francois Leo @sisseleo]

We are looking to grow the team working on fiber cavity solitons. If you are interested, please reach out.

Congratulations, @Nico_Englebert !

[Nicolas Englebert @Nico_Englebert]

PhDone!! 🥳 Hard to realize. My first thanks go to my two advisors @sisseleo and Simon-Pierre Gorza, for this incredible journey! Thanks also to all my colleagues, family, and those long-time friends and former teachers who came to see me. It was amazing!

[OPERA-Photonics @OperaPhotonics]

A poster session is also organized!

[Bart Kuyken @BartKuyken]

Hi all, Still time to register for the frequency comb workshop organized by @sisseleo ,@Nico_Englebert and me! Location: Magritte Museum in the center of Brussels! Date: 12-13 September. Cost: 150 Euro including lunch, dinner and drinks. See https://t.co/JahltXXNpH for details.

Proud to share the cover of the last @PolytechBXL magazine alongside @sisseleo and Simon-Pierre Gorza, highlighting our latest results at @OperaPhotonics !

[OPERA-Photonics @OperaPhotonics]

New arXiv preprint from our group, the first on synthetic dimensions! We explore its nonlinear dynamics and show that a cavity soliton can exhibit Bloch oscillations! Towards nonlinear topological photonics? #CavitySoliton @Nico_Englebert @sisseleo

[Nicolas Englebert @Nico_Englebert]

Check out our new arXiv preprint: "Bloch Oscillations of Driven Dissipative Solitons in a Synthetic Dimension". We show that cavity solitons exhibit a new type of Bloch oscillations that depends on the applied force!
