Abstract

In a theoretical study of dissipative heating in Kerr microresonators we show that thermal effects shift the coexistence wedge and modulational instability curve of continuous waves, so as to block access to frequency combs, and exhibit a path circumventing the obstruction. Thermal oscillations occur beyond a Hopf bifurcation curve.
