Chip-Scale Self-Referenced Optical Frequency Comb Sources
As a Nobel-honored technology, optical frequency combs, which consist of equidistant spectral lines, have revolutionized applications in time-keeping, and metrology as they offer unprecedented precision in frequency via self-referencing. However, conventional frequency comb systems have been confined to laboratories due to the cost, size, and power requirements of their components. This project aims to develop a chip-scale optical frequency comb source that can be self-referenced. Key components to realize self-referencing are comb generators and frequency doublers. However, it is challenging to integrate both functionalities on the same chip as they typically rely on different nonlinear…
