摘要：

Kerr optical frequency comb has an equidistantly distributed comb-like spectral structure and has important applications in precision measurement, optical clocks, coherent optical communications, microwave and optical arbitrary wave generation, spectroscopy, and calibration of astronomical spectrometers. Firstly, compared with other optical frequency comb systems, the microresonator optical frequency comb has the advantages of strong integration, small size and good flexibility, which greatly expands the application of optical frequency combs. Secondly, a MgF2 microresonator with a quality factor up to 4.8×107 was prepared by an ultra-precision machining method, and a clean, regular and regularly arranged spectrum was obtained. The free frequency range was 9.73 GHz, which provides conditions for generating low repetition rate optical frequency combs. Finally, according to the experimental results and the Lugiato-Lefever equation, the generation process of the MgF2 microresonator optical frequency comb was analyzed, and the influence of the pump power on the optical frequency comb was studied. The soliton state optical frequency comb was obtained by adjusting the detuning parameters. In addition, the optical field mode of the microresonator was optimized through dispersion control, which creates a condition for generating a soliton optical frequency comb with an ultra-smooth spectrum and improves the performance of the optical frequency comb. © 2021, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.
