excerpt>
In summary, we have demonstrated Kerr comb generation followed by spectral and temporal manipulation of the comb signal, all achieved on the same LN chip. Our platform could lead to a new generation of photonic circuits based on the monolithic integration of frequency comb generators with both passive and active photonic components. Leveraging the giant effective ?(3) nonlinearity in a quasi-phase-matched ?(2) waveguide, frequency comb generation with much lower threshold power could potentially be achieved.41 Directly embedding electro-optic modulation in the comb generator could lead to active mode locking of a Kerr frequency comb. Further integrating the frequency comb source with multiplexer/demultiplexer and ultrafast electro-optic modulators on the same chip could provide compact and low-cost dense-wavelength-division multiplexing solutions for future ultra-broadband optical fibre communication networks9. The fast and independent control of the amplitude and phase of each comb line are promising for chip-scale LiDAR systems10,11, programmable pulse shaping5 and quantum information processing12
