We propose a new system of an attosecond pulse generation by using the integrated nonlinear microring devices. A soliton light pulse with wavelength of 1550 nm is entered into the multistage microring resonators, where the ring radii of the recent integrated device product are within the range from 5 to 10 microns. Results obtained have shown that the ultrashort pulse width in the attoscale regime and beyond can be easily generated. When the input peak power of 12 W is applied into the system, the generated pulse with pulse width of 50 is achieved. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
