Analysis of high-order dispersion on ultrabroadband microresonator-based   frequency combs
  We numerically investigate the influence of high-order dispersion on both temporal and spectral characterizations of microresonator-based optical frequency combs. The moment method is utilized to study the temporal dynamics of intracavity solitons. The theoretical and numerical results indicate the temporal shifts are induced by high-odd-order dispersion rather than high-even-order dispersion. The role of high-order dispersion on the frequency comb envelopes is carefully elucidated through analyzing the intracavity Cherenkov radiations. We further demonstrate that the spectra envelope of an ultrabroadband optical frequency comb can be engineered by using dispersion profiles with multiple zero dispersion wavelengths.
