Performance of chip-scale optical frequency comb generators in coherent WDM communications

Tobias Kippenberg

Optical frequency combs have the potential to become key building blocks of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) communication systems. The strictly equidistant narrow-band spectral lines of a frequency comb can serve either as carriers for parallel WDM ...
