Abstract
Synchronization of oscillators is ubiquitous in nature. Often, the
synchronized oscillators couple directly, yet in some cases synchronization can
arise from their parametric interactions. Here, we theoretically predict and
experimentally demonstrate the parametric synchronization of a dissipative Kerr
soliton frequency comb. We specifically show that the parametric interaction
between the soliton and two auxiliary lasers permits the entrainment of the
frequency comb repetition rate. Besides representing the first prediction and
demonstration of parametric synchronization of soliton frequency combs, our
scheme offers significant flexibility for all-optical metrological-scale
stabilization of the comb.
