由于具有自参考的能力，跨八度光学频率梳在光学计量中特别有趣。我们报告了在微谐振器的窃窃私语廊模式中产生八度跨越梳的理论研究。通过在氟化钙微腔中的模态展开模型仿真，我们表明适当的泵浦功率、克尔非线性和色散分布的组合可以产生稳定和鲁棒的跨倍频光频梳。(C) 2010年美国光学学会
Octave-spanning optical frequency combs are especially interesting in optical metrology owing to the ability of self-referencing. We report a theoretical study on the generation of octave-spanning combs in the whispering gallery modes of a microresonator. Through a modal expansion model simulation in a calcium fluoride microcavity, we show that a combination of suitable pump power, Kerr nonlinearity, and dispersion profile can lead to stable and robust octave-spanning optical frequency combs.
