Workflow from Scientific Research

Optical setup for soliton generation in x-cut LTOI microresonators. The orientation and TE polarization are also indicated in the schematic diagram of the fabricated LTOI chip. Rapid laser scans were generated using a single-sideband modulator (SSB) and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), continuous wave (CW) laser and an erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA). FBG, fibre Bragg grating; FPC, fibre polarization controller. The soliton microcombs were analysed using an optical spectrum analyser (OSA) and the nonlinearly generated light and microwave beat notes were recorded with a PD and analysed with an OSC and electrical spectrum analyser (ESA), respectively.
