Popis: We show that self-organization occurs in the phase dynamics of soliton modelocking in paramet- ric frequency combs. Reduction of the Lugiato-Lefever equation (LLE) to a simpler set of phase equations reveals that this self-organization arises via mechanisms akin to those in the Kuramoto model for synchronization of coupled oscillators. In addition, our simulations show that the phase equations evolve to a broadband phase-locked state, analogous to the soliton formation process in the LLE. Our simplified equations intuitively explain the origin of the pump phase offset in soliton- modelocked parametric frequency combs. They also predict that the phase of the intracavity field undergoes an anti-symmetrization that precedes phase synchronization, and they clarify the role of chaotic states in soliton formation in parametric combs.
