Frequency combs from crystalline resonators: influence of cavity parameters on comb dynamics
arXiv:1406.0790 · doi:10.1117/1.OE.53.12.122609
Abstract
We experimentally study the factors that influence the span in frequency combs derived from the crystalline whispering gallery mode resonators. We observe that cavity dispersion plays an important role in generation of combs by cascaded four wave mixing process. We observed combs from the resonators with anomalous dispersion and nearly zero dispersion at the pump wavelength. In addition, the comb generation efficiency is found to be affected by the crossing of modes of different families. The influence of Raman gain is discussed as well as the role of cavity diameter and pump power. Copyright 2014 California Institute of Technology. Government sponsorship acknowledged.
