One arXiv a day keeps the doctor away! Checkout our new study led by @CMasarabi, about cavity solitons formation in optical parametric oscillators 👀
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 Check it out here: arxiv.org/abs/2212.09493 @CMasarabi @sisseleo @PedroParraRiva1

Congratulations, @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!
A poster session is also organized!
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 frequencycomb.be/ for details.

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
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! arxiv.org/abs/2112.10756 @sisseleo @GoldmanNathan2 @MErkintalo

I will present our latest results at FiO+LS at 20:30 (UTC+1, Belgian time) today. The presentation will be done on a green background; will you see the difference with one on site? 😄 #FiO #NonlinearOptics #CavitySoliton @OperaPhotonics @PolytechBXL @ULBRecherche @frsFNRS

We're on the cover of the latest @NaturePhotonics ! Artistic view of random number generation — represented by a roll of the dice — using parametrically driven optical solitons in a nonlinear fibre resonator with competing quadratic and cubic nonlinearities.
I am proud to announce that our latest article is on the cover of the latest @NaturePhotonics ! "Parametrically Driven Kerr Cavity Soliton". What a dream! #CavitySoliton #NLO Open access link: rdcu.be/cx6B8 @sisseleo @OperaPhotonics @PolytechBXL @ULBRecherche
