Abstract
The generation of dissipative cavity solitons is one of the most intriguing features of microresonator-based Kerr frequency combs, enabling effective mode locking of comb modes and synthesis of ultrafast pulses. With the Lugiato–Lefever model, here, we conduct detailed theoretical investigations on the transient dynamics of dissipative cavity solitons and describe how several intrinsic effects of the Kerr comb disturb the stability of cavity solitons, including soliton breathing, higher order dispersion, dispersive wave emission, and cavity mode coupling. Our results and analysis agree well with recent measurements and provide insight into some as yet unexplained observations.
