description The reliable generation of dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) enables applications in communications, metrology, optical clocks, and, more recently, artificial intelligence. We show how single DKS can be generated by Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> dual-coupled microring resonators (DCMs). We modeled this coupled structure using the Lugiato–Lefever equation (LLE), including mode interactions in the dispersion profile. We also characterized the pump power and detuning parameter space for several mode interaction strengths and frequencies, and we found parameters for which a DKS could be deterministically obtained using a single, adiabatic frequency sweep with a constant pump power. We demonstrated deterministic single DKS generation for this path by simulating 200 times with different random noise inputs. This result paves the way for reliable, inexpensive, and deterministic single DKS generation in a simple setup.
