We introduce a mechanism to stabilize spatiotemporal solitons in Kerr nonlinear media, based on the dispersion of linear coupling between the field components forming the soliton states. Specifically, we consider solitons in a two-core…

Temporal cavity solitons generated in monochromatically driven dispersive Kerr resonators offer an attractive avenue for on-chip optical frequency comb generation. Key to many of their applications is to understand how noise -- both…
