Tunable insertion of multiple lines into a Kerr frequency comb using electro-optical modulators

Yan Yan, Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Amirhossein Mohajerin Ariaei, Arne Kordts, Maxim Karpov, Ahmad Fallahpour, Cong Liu, Lin Zhang

We experimentally insert a flexible number of electro-optical (EO) comb lines into a Kerr frequency comb via EO modulation and demonstrate the use of combined Kerr and EO combs as light sources in coherent communications. The number of EO lines inserted in ...
