Soliton dual comb in crystalline microresonators

Abstract

We present a novel compact dual-comb source based on a monolithic optical crystalline MgF2_2 multi-resonator stack. The coherent soliton combs generated in two microresonators of the stack with the repetition rate of 12.1 GHz and difference of 1.62 MHz provided after heterodyning a 300 MHz wide radio-frequency comb. Analogous system can be used for dual-comb spectroscopy, coherent LIDAR applications and massively parallel optical communications.
