Within the last decade Kerr frequency combs have received an increasing amount of attention in nonlinear optics – both from an experimental as well as from a theoretical point of view. At the same time, an increasing number of mathematicians have started to work on the analysis and numerics of the governing equations. By now, numerous researchers in physics, mathematics and engineering are working to advance the theoretical understanding and the practical usability.
The research topics include e.g., modelling aspects, soliton formation and stability aspects, novel comb-generation schemes, novel methods for controlling comb generation, design of comb generators, locking phenomena, new material platforms, Kerr combs as parts of more complex systems, numerical simulation, and applications in different fields of science and technology.
The goal of the minisymposium is to provide a platform for mathematicians, physicists and engineers to exchange their most recent results and ideas.
