A Self-Starting Integrated Method for Multistate Microcavity Optical Frequency Comb Generation
To address challenges such as difficulty in integrating complex control system and controlling generating deterministic optical comb states for microcavity optical frequency comb,we propose a self-starting method for integrating microcavity optical frequency combs based on the forward and reverse frequency tuning principles.The integration of the microcavity optical frequency comb system and the deterministic generation of arbitrary optical frequency comb states are realized through high-speed acquisition of microcavity transmission spectra and real-time feedback control of pump optical frequency offsets.The system based on the layered design is compact,with dimensions constrained to 290 mm×195 mm×141 mm,and the average generation time for the optical frequency combs ranges from 1.2 s to 31.1 s.The proposed approach is poised to advance the development of microcavity optical frequency combs for applications in communications,time-frequency analysis,and precision measurements.
