Title :
Micro-resonator based optical frequency comb
Author_Institution :
EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
Abstract :
The generation of optical frequency combs in microresonators will be reviewed, enabling on-chip integration of combs with GHz repetition rates. Recent experiments that demonstrate the generation of solitons are described and the application of these combs for coherent communication reviewed.
