Abstract
A photonic-crystal resonator (PhCR) and associated methods of design and manufacture. The PhCR includes spontaneous optical-pulse generation and includes a ring whose geometry is correlated to a mode structure or dispersion of the PhCR while also taking into account a desired type of nonlinear optical output from the PhCR, such as an optical frequency comb, or a particular type of pulse. The PhCR includes a periodic nanopatterning on an inner radial wall of its ring and is able to spontaneously generate a nonlinear optical output. The nanopatterning of the inner radial wall is designed to form a desired output, such as one of a classic soliton pulse that has a sech type temporal profile, or a gaussian profile, or a sink pulse profile.
