© 2018 Chinese Laser Press. Microresonator-based Kerr frequency combs have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years, in which mode locking of the generated combs is associated with bright or dark cavity soliton formation. In this paper, we show that, different from soliton propagation along a waveguide, cavity solitons can be robustly formed under a unique dispersion profile with four zero-dispersion wavelengths. More importantly, such a dispersion profile exhibits much smaller overall dispersion, thus making it possible to greatly reduce the pump power by five to six times.
