Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2017All-fiber versatile laser frequency reference at 2μm for CO2 space-borne lidar applications
We present a frequency stabilized laser at 2051 nm based on a versatile all-fibered stabilization setup. A modulation sideband locking technique is implemented to lock the laser at a controlled frequency detuning from the center of the CO2 R(30) transition ...
Springer Wien2017Dependence of a microresonator Kerr frequency comb on the pump linewidth
Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Arne Kordts, Lin Zhang, Amirhossein Mohajerin Ariaei
We experimentally investigate the dependence of Kerr comb generation, comb linewidth, and coherent system performance on the pump linewidth in a microresonator. We find that the generation of the primary comb can have a larger tolerance to the pump linewid ...
Optical Society of America2017Experimental Investigation of the Effect of EDFA-Generated ASE Noise added to the Pump of a Kerr Frequency Comb
Tobias Kippenberg, Arne Kordts, Fatemeh Alishahi, Lin Zhang, Ahmad Fallahpour
We experimentally investigate the effect of EDFA-induced pump ASE noise on cavity-soliton Kerr combs for 64-QAM transmission. We find that all comb optical carrier-to-noise ratios (OCNRs) are similar with a fixed pump OCNR and comb linewidths almost remain ...

EPFL2016Ultra Low-Power Frequency Synthesizers for Duty Cycled IoT radios
Internet of Things (IoT), which is one of the main talking points in the electronics industry today, consists of a number of highly miniaturized sensors and actuators which sense the physical environment around us and communicate that information to a cent ...
EPFL2016Generation of an optical frequency comb in the green with silicon nitride microresonators
Tobias Kippenberg, Michail Zervas, Nicolas Volet, Hairun Guo, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer
The first realization of a green-light frequency comb is reported in a silicon nitride ring microresonator, from third-order non-linear interaction of a near-infrared 1-THz spacing Kerr comb spanning 2/3 of an octave. ...

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Tobias Herr, John David Jost, Caroline Marie Anne Lecaplain
Phase coherently linking optical-to-radio frequencies with femtosecond mode-locked laser frequency combs has enabled counting the cycles of light and is the basis of optical clocks, absolute frequency synthesis, tests of fundamental physics, and improved s ...
Optical Soc Amer2015Reducing Energy Dissipation in ULP Systems: PLL-Free FBAR-Based Fast Startup Transmitters
Christian Enz, David Ruffieux, Raghavasimhan Thirunarayanan
The energy dissipated by conventional phase-locked-loop-based transmitters (TXs) during the long startup phase is a major bottleneck that reduces the energy autonomy of duty-cycled ultra-low-power systems. In order to tackle this problem, this paper presen ...
