    Area of Science:

    • Integrated photonics
    • Nonlinear optics
    • Materials science

    Background:

    • Soliton microcombs in high-Q microresonators are crucial for optical clocks, spectroscopy, and telecommunications.
    • Conventional pumping methods face challenges with low conversion efficiency, high power thresholds, and parasitic nonlinear effects like stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).
    • Parasitic nonlinearities can hinder the generation and stability of soliton states.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To achieve high-efficiency soliton microcomb generation with a low power threshold.
    • To leverage the synergistic interaction between SRS and four-wave mixing (FWM).
    • To explore a novel dual-pump strategy in a SiO2 microsphere.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a high-Q SiO2 microsphere for nonlinear optical interactions.
    • Implemented a dual-pump strategy: a primary pump for Raman gain and a secondary pump for soliton formation.
    • Investigated the interplay between SRS and FWM for soliton microcomb generation.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a 21.8% conversion efficiency from pump laser to soliton state.
    • Demonstrated reduced soliton formation threshold compared to conventional methods.
    • Showcased robust soliton stabilization through dynamic Raman gain compensation and thermal suppression.

    Conclusions:

    • The dual-pump strategy effectively exploits synergistic SRS and FWM for efficient soliton microcomb generation.
    • This method significantly lowers the power threshold and enhances the stability of soliton states.
    • Presents a universal pathway for energy-efficient nonlinear photonics in Raman-active microresonators.
