Full frequency stabilization of a microcomb with a single integral control
Microwave signal generation with record-low phase noise is demonstrated using a microcomb. The results use 2-point optical-frequency-division with a frequency-agile dispersive wave as a spectral endpoint. The compact all-solid-state reference cavity features a record Q-factor. Meanwhile, the microcomb is demonstrated to be hybridly-packaged with a III-V DFB pump to perform the 2-point optical-frequency-division, under the turnkey self-injection locking configuration. The results advance integrable microcomb-based signal sources into the performance realm of much larger microwave sources.
