We investigate frequency comb generation in silicon nitride ring resonators by using a pump subject to a weak amplitude modulation. We show that a partial locking is obtained when the external modulation frequency differs from the resonator free-spectral-range by up to hundreds of MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
