We demonstrate control and stabilization of an optical frequency comb generated by four-wave mixing in a monolithic microresonator with a mode spacing in the microwave regime (86 GHz). The comb parameters (mode spacing and offset frequency) are controlled via the power and the frequency of the pump laser, which constitutes one of the comb modes. Furthermore, generation of a microwave beat note at the comb's mode spacing frequency is demonstrated, enabling direct stabilization to a microwave frequency standard.
我们展示了在一个单片微谐振器中通过四波混频产生的光学频率梳的控制与稳定,该微谐振器的模式间距处于微波频段(86吉赫兹)。梳状参数(模式间距和偏移频率)通过泵浦激光器的功率和频率来控制,泵浦激光器构成梳状模式之一。此外,还展示了在梳状模式间距频率处产生微波拍频,从而能够直接稳定到微波频率标准。
