Our paper, in collaboration with Prof. John Bowers' group from University of California at Santa Barbara, shows the generation of a Dissipative Kerr Soliton (DKS) in a III-V platform, namely AlGaAs-on-insulator, thanks to the quenching of the thermo-refractive effect at cryogenic temperaure. We demonstrate that heating is the major limitation to reach DKS states at room temperature, and has to be overcome to fully harness the potential of this platform to generate low-noise states in this platform, which is distinguished by its ultra-high effective nonlinearity (and resulting ultra-low power oepration).
