Shrinking spectrometers Dual-comb spectroscopy is a powerful technique that uses the interference of two closely related combs to map spectroscopic features directly into frequency domain can be read by electronics. Suh et al. developed dual-comb approach using produced silica microresonators fabricated on silicon chip. Perhaps high-resolution will soon shrunk chip scale, doing away with need for bulky spectrometers. Science , this issue p. 600

Dissipative Kerr solitons are self-sustaining optical wavepackets in resonators. They use the nonlinearity to both compensate dispersion and offset loss. Besides providing insights into nonlinear resonator physics, they can be applied frequency metrology, precision clocks, spectroscopy. Like other solitons, dissipative soliton radiate power as a dispersive wave through process that is analogue of Cherenkov radiation. Dispersive waves typically consist an ensemble modes.

Silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides with ultra-low optical loss enable integrated photonic applications including low noise, narrow linewidth lasers, chip-scale nonlinear photonics, and microwave photonics. Lasers are key components to SiN circuits (PICs), but difficult fully integrate low-index due their large mismatch the high-index III-V gain materials.
