This design methodology enables controlled soliton generation in dual-coupled microresonators, suggesting practical applications for frequency comb sources.
Deterministic generation of dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) is a key requirement for practical microresonator-based frequency comb sources. Here, we present a design methodology for Si3N4 dual-coupled microring resonators (DCMs) that relates device geometry to the intrinsic and interaction parameters governing soliton formation. In particular, the auxiliary-ring geometry controls the avoided mode crossing, enabling targeted control of the interaction strength a and its modal position b through geometric design and refractive-index tuning. The resulting DCM configurations exhibit accessible DKS regions in the (Δ,|S|2) parameter space under constant pump power and linear detuning sweeps. These results provide a practical framework for the implementation of robust microresonator frequency comb sources with simplified control.
