Controlling frequency-comb fast-gain devices through photonic lattice engineering

Optical Frequency Combs (OFCs), states of light with equally spaced and phase-locked frequencies, revolutionized metrology across a wide range of metrological applications. Current OFC sources are highly accurate but also bulky. Miniaturizing OFC sources to on-chip scale, small enough to be placed in your hand, will enable a second revolution with applications such as distributed pollution tracking, medical detection equipment, compact LIDARs and dense communication channels (DWDM). OFC devices supporting these applications require: (a) in-situ control over the spectrum with power management of ~90% for every spectral line (b) bandwidth of 10-15THz (c) power per line of ~3mW while…
