Type-II micro-comb generation in a filter-driven four wave mixing laser [Invited]
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 14:20 authored by Hualong Bao, Andrew Cooper, Sai T Chu, Dave J Moss, Roberto Morandotti, Brent E Little, Marco Peccianti, Alessia PasquaziWe experimentally demonstrate the generation of highly coherent Type-II micro-combs based on a microresonator nested in a fiber cavity loop, known as the filter-driven four wave mixing (FD-FWM) laser scheme. In this system, the frequency spacing of the comb can be adjusted to integer multiples of the free-spectral range (FSR) of the nested micro-resonator by properly tuning the fiber cavity length. Sub-comb lines with single FSR spacing around the primary comb lines can be generated. Such a spectral emission is known as a “Type-II comb.” Our system achieves a fully coherent output. This behavior is verified by numerical simulations. This study represents an important step forward in controlling and manipulating the dynamics of an FD-FWM laser.
