Abstract
We propose a continuous wave (CW) triggering method for simple deterministic generation of Kerr solitons by seeding a fixed-frequency pump driven nonlinear microresonator. Single soliton frequency combs can be generated deterministically simply by adjusting the intensity and frequency offset of the trigger signal. Using numerical simulations, we have systematically investigated the dynamics and mechanism for the generation of stable Kerr solitons. We found that single soliton state can be achieved by CW triggering at milliwatt level. We also present the principle of temporal soliton generation and determine the parameter regime for stable single solitons generated by the external trigger. This work provides a new method for generating Kerr solitons in microresonators with low-threshold high repetition rate comb sources.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
