The aim of this work is to theoretically investigate the possibility of Kerr frequency combs in mechanical systems. In particular, whether microelectrome-chanical devices (MEMS) can be used to generate frequency combs in a manner that is…
Optical frequency combs have become a key research topic in optics and photonics. A peculiar comb state is the harmonic frequency comb (HFC), where optical lines are spaced by integer multiples of the cavity's free-spectral range. The…
Laser frequency combs are coherent light sources that simultaneously provide pristine frequency spacings for precision metrology and the fundamental basis for ultrafast and attosecond sciences. Recently, nonlinear parametric conversion in…
Microresonator Kerr frequency combs, which rely on third-order nonlinearity ($\chi^{(3)}$), are of great interest for a wide range of applications including optical clocks, pulse shaping, spectroscopy, telecommunications, light detection…
We show experimentally and theoretically that the spectral components of a multi-octave frequency comb spontaneously created by stimulated Raman scattering in a hydrogen-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber exhibit strong self…
Microresonator frequency combs harness the nonlinear Kerr effect in an integrated optical cavity to generate a multitude of phase-locked frequency lines. The line spacing can reach values in the order of 100 GHz, making it an attractive…
Optical frequency combs (FCs), that establish a rigid phase-coherent link between the microwave and optical domains of the electromagnetic spectrum, are emerging as a key high-precision tools for the development of quantum technology…

An optical frequency comb is a spectrum of optical radiation which consists of evenly spaced and phase-coherent narrow spectral lines and is initially invented in laser for frequency metrology purposes. A direct analogue of frequency combs…
A recirculating frequency-shifting loop (FSL) provides a highly flexible platform for generating coherent optically chirped light with tunable bandwidth, duration, chirp rate and repetition rate. The properties of the chirped light are…
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have emerged as promising candidates for generating chip-scale frequency combs in mid-infrared and terahertz wavelengths. In this work, we demonstrate frequency comb formation in ring terahertz QCLs using the…
It is demonstrated that Kerr frequency comb generation described by coupled mode equations can be numerically simulated using Fast Fourier Transform methods. This allows broadband frequency combs spanning a full octave to be efficiently…
Modelocked frequency comb lasers have always operated with a single pulse circulating in the laser cavity. This meant that each laser technology had an associated limit on pulse repetition rate. Achieving higher rates required different…

Optical frequency combs are one of the most remarkable inventions of the last decades. Originally conceived as the spectral counterpart of the train of short pulses emitted by mode-locked lasers, frequency combs have also been subsequently…
Broadband light sources with well-defined spectral structures are vital for science and technology. However, the evenly spaced lines of frequency combs represent only a small subset of all possible structured white-light sources. We…
