Abstract

We demonstrate that a dissipative Kerr soliton comb tooth can be captured by another injected pump laser, resulting in Kerr induced synchronization. This regime is highly significant for metrology applications, where the soliton can passively lock onto a reference clock laser. The dynamics of the system also enable other forms of locking, where the comb tooth is captured at a fixed offset from the reference laser, entering the syntonization regime. Similar to breather entrainment, we establish that the syntonization frequency offset correlates with the soliton's repetition rate.
