Fully integrated electrically driven optical frequency comb at communication wavelength
To meet the high demand of data transmission capacity, optical communications systems have been developed. In order to increase the channel numbers for larger communication bandwidth, multi-mode lasers and laser arrays can be used. As an alternative coherent light source, optical frequency comb (OFC...

| description | To meet the high demand of data transmission capacity, optical communications systems have been developed. In order to increase the channel numbers for larger communication bandwidth, multi-mode lasers and laser arrays can be used. As an alternative coherent light source, optical frequency comb (OFC) contains multi-wavelength signal, and hence enables communication with data stream of tens of terabit/s. Fully integrated electrically driven OFCs are expected as a compact, robust, and low-cost light source for data communication. In this review article, the recent development progress on fully integrated electrically driven OFC generators are reviewed, with focus on the demonstrations in the past five years. Based on comb generation approaches, the works are categorized into two main types: one is OFC generators based on four-wave mixing in high-Q resonator, and the other is OFC generators based on mode-locked laser. At the end, a summary and future outlook are provided. |
