Engineered zero-dispersion microcombs using CMOS-ready photonics

Abstract: Normal group velocity dispersion (GVD) microcombs offer high comb line power and high pumping efficiency compared to bright pulse microcombs. The recent demonstration of normal GVD microcombs using CMOS foundry-produced microresonators is an important step toward scalable production. However, the chromatic dispersion of CMOS devices is large and impairs the generation of broadband microcombs. Here, we report the development of a microresonator in which GVD is reduced due to a coupled-ring resonator configurati… Show more

“…Further device details are provided in the supplementary materials, but briefly, the intrinsic Q factor is 95 million, the average FSR of the two rings is 19.95 GHz, and their FSR difference dFSR is 100 MHz, so that R ≈ FSR/dFSR = 200. The rings couple along a straight section to form hybrid-mode frequency bands (7,8) whose dispersion spectra are modulated by the Moiré effect. By applying voltage to one of the ring heaters, the frequency ruling of the corresponding resonator is shifted, thereby inducing a much larger spectral shift of the dispersion through the speedup effect.…”

“…We used four different distributedfeedback (DFB) semiconductor lasers operating at four different wavelengths. At each pumping wavelength, tuning of the resonator dispersion allows operation in either the bright or dark mode (7,8). A measurement of realtime switching between a bright-soliton and dark-pulse microcomb state is presented in fig.…”

“…Most of Kerr comb generation are based on cavity solitons generation in anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD) resonators, resulting in a stable soliton recirculating in the resonator and a broad homogeneous OFC at the cavity output [14,16]. However, normal GVD resonators are increasingly utilized for OFCs generation, in particular because of their high conversion efficiency between the pump and the generated comb lines [8,[17][18][19][20]. As the upper branch of a normally dispersive cavity does not exhibit modulation instability, various excitation techniques had to be identified to trigger OFCs in this regime, notably through mode-crossing effect [17,18], Brillouin effect [21], dual-pumping [22], coupled-cavity [18,19,23], modulated pump [20] or pulsed pumping scheme [24][25][26][27][28].…”
