Detuning-dependent properties and dispersion-induced instabilities of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

A high-accuracy measurement of dissipative Kerr soliton properties in a driven nonlinear microresonator is performed, providing an experimental verification of an approximate ansatz of the Lugiato-Lefever equation. The present work contributes to the understanding and controlling of dissipative solitons and their use as optical frequency combs.
