Abstract

Optical frequency combs provide equidistant frequency markers and have applications that encompass fundamental Physics to Engineering. This tutorial will review the fundamental operational principles and latest development in the field of soliton microresonators frequency combs (micro-combs). Such microcombs provide a chipscale, compact source of coherent and broadband frequency combs, at low power and have been applied to realize chipscale frequency synthesizers, optical clocks, and applied to LIDAR, dual comb spectroscopy, microwave photonics, as well as astrophysical spectometer calibration. They utilize spatio-temporal self organization of light in the form of dissipative solitons. (C) 2019 The Author(s)

Frequency comb

In optics, a frequency comb is a laser source whose spectrum consists of a series of discrete, equally spaced frequency lines. Frequency combs can be generated by a number of mechanisms, including periodic modulation (in amplitude and/or phase) of a continuous-wave laser, four-wave mixing in nonlinear media, or stabilization of the pulse train generated by a mode-locked laser. Much work has been devoted to this last mechanism, which was developed around the turn of the 21st century and ultimately led to one half of the Nobel Prize in Physics being shared by John L.

Principles of war

Principles of war are rules and guidelines that represent truths in the practice of war and military operations. The earliest known principles of war were documented by Sun Tzu, circa 500 BCE, as well as Chanakya in his Arthashastra circa 350BCE. Machiavelli published his "General Rules" in 1521 which were themselves modeled on Vegetius' Regulae bellorum generales (Epit. 3.26.1–33). Henri, Duke of Rohan established his "Guides" for war in 1644. Marquis de Silva presented his "Principles" for war in 1778.

Operational level of war

In the field of military theory, the operational level of war (also called operational art, as derived from оперативное искусство, or operational warfare) represents the level of command that connects the details of tactics with the goals of strategy. In Joint U.S. military doctrine, operational art is "the cognitive approach by commanders and staffs—supported by their skill, knowledge, experience, creativity, and judgment—to develop strategies, campaigns, and operations to organize and employ military forces by integrating ends, ways, and means.
