Comparative study on pump frequency tuning and self-injection locking in Kerr microcomb generation

扫码查看
The optical frequency comb has attracted considerable interest due to its diverse applications in optical atomic clocks,ultra-low-noise microwave generation,dual-comb spectroscopy,and optical communications.The merits of large frequency spacing,high integration,and low power consumption have shown that microresonator-based Kerr optical frequency combs will become mainstream in the future.Two methods of pump frequency tuning and self-injection locking were used to obtain Kerr combs in the same silicon nitride microresonators with free spectral ranges of 50 GHz and 100 GHz.Single-soliton combs are realized with both methods.Simplicity,pump power,spectrum bandwidth,conversion efficiency,and linewidth are compared and analyzed.Our results show that the advantages of pump frequency tuning are a wider spectrum and higher soliton power while the advantages of self-injection locking are simplicity,compactness,low cost,significant linewidth narrowing,and high conversion efficiency.
