A proposal for the generation of optical frequency comb in temperature insensitive microcavity

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/25/11/114214

Abstract We numerically simulate the generation of an optical frequency comb (OFC) in a microring based on the traditional Si₃N₄ strip waveguide and a temperature compensated slot waveguide. The results show that OFCs are susceptible to temperature with strip waveguide while they can keep stable when temperature changes 10 K in either low-Q (10⁵) or high Q (10⁶) microcavity with the well-designed slot waveguide, which has great superiority in practical applications where the temperature drift of the cavity due to the intense pump or surrounding change is unavoidable.

Keywords: temperature insensitive optical frequency comb flattened dispersion slot waveguide
