Optical-Frequency Measurements with a Kerr Microcomb and Photonic-Chip Supercontinuum
Optical-Frequency Measurements with a Kerr Microcomb and Photonic-Chip Supercontinuum
Dissipative solitons formed in Kerr microresonators may enable chip-scale frequency combs for precision optical metrology. Here we explore the creation of an octave-spanning, 15-GHz repetition-rate microcomb suitable for both f-2f self-referencing and optical-frequency comparisons across the near infrared. This is achieved through a simple and reliable approach to deterministically generate, …
