Frequency comb generation in the green using silicon nitride microresonators
O R IG IN AL PPER Abstract Optical frequency combs enable precision measurements in fundamental physics and have been applied to a growing number of applications, such as molecular spectroscopy, LIDAR and atmospheric trace-gas sensing. In recent years, the generation of frequency combs has been demonstrated in integrated microresonators. Extending their spectral range to the visible is generall...
متن کاملSoliton frequency comb at microwave rates in a high-Q silica microresonator
Frequency combs are having a broad impact on science and technology because they provide a way to coherently link radio/microwave-rate electrical signals with optical-rate signals derived from lasers and atomic transitions. Integrating these systems on a photonic chip would revolutionize instrumentation, time keeping, spectroscopy, navigation, and potentially create new mass-market applications...
متن کاملMicroelectromechanical Filters for Signal Processing
Microelectromechanical filters based on coupled lateral microresonators are demonstrated. This new class of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has potential signalprocessing applications for filters which require narrow bandwidth (high Q), good signal-to-noise ratio, and stable temperature and aging characteristics. Microfilters presented in this paper are made by surface-micromachining tech...
متن کاملA low-phase-noise 18 GHz Kerr frequency microcomb phase-locked over 65 THz
Laser frequency combs are coherent light sources that simultaneously provide pristine frequency spacings for precision metrology and the fundamental basis for ultrafast and attosecond sciences. Recently, nonlinear parametric conversion in high-Q microresonators has been suggested as an alternative platform for optical frequency combs, though almost all in 100 GHz frequencies or more. Here we re...
متن کاملThermally controlled comb generation and soliton modelocking in microresonators.
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of thermally controlled soliton mode-locked frequency comb generation in microresonators. By controlling the electric current through heaters integrated with silicon nitride microresonators, we demonstrate a systematic and repeatable pathway to single- and multi-soliton mode-locked states without adjusting the pump laser wavelengt...
