Differential phase reconstruction of microcombs

Optics 2022-07-15 v1

Abstract

Measuring microcombs in amplitude and phase provides unique insight into the nonlinear cavity dynamics but spectral phase measurements are experimentally challenging. Here, we report a linear heterodyne technique assisted by electro-optic downconversion that enables differential phase measurement of such spectra with unprecedented sensitivity (-50 dBm) and bandwidth coverage (> 110 nm in the telecommunications range). We validate the technique with a series of measurements, including single cavity and photonic molecule microcombs.
