Reversible Kerr-soliton generation

Abstract

We demonstrate deterministic and reversible generation of single Kerr-microresonator solitons using a phase-modulated pump laser. In agreement with simulations, modulation enables soliton generation from a below-threshold background and provides control of the resulting pulse train.
