Optical frequency combs generated mechanically
arXiv:1608.06496 · doi:10.1364/OL.42.003197
Abstract
It is shown that a highly equidistant optical frequency comb can be generated by the parametric excitation of an optical bottle microresonator with nanoscale effective radius variation by its natural mechanical vibrations.
