Abstract

We report on the interaction between stimulated Brillouin scattering and temporal cavity solitons (CSs) in doubly resonant ring resonators. Our experiments are performed in coherently driven passive optical-fiber resonators. We demonstrate that the interplay between four-wave mixing and cascade Brillouin lasing spontaneously generates patterns of CSs on a temporal grid at twice the Brillouin-shift. These patterns are shown to be highly stable owing to a long-range locking mechanism mediated by the acoustic oscillation generated by the solitons. We introduce a unified mean-field model of the cavity to describe the dynamics between the coupled forward and backward waves under coherent driving. This model reproduces the experimental results with high accuracy and explains the paracrystalline structures of the soliton pattern. Our findings significantly advance the understanding of hybrid Brillouin–Kerr optical frequency combs.
