Generation of High Repetition Rate Broadband Flat Coherent Optical Frequency Comb Based on Tantalum Pentoxide Integrated Nonlinear Optical Waveguide
Through the waveguide structure design and dispersion engineering, based on the soliton pulse compression, self-phase modulation, and optical wave breaking, a 0.22 m anomalous dispersion tantalum pentoxide waveguide cascaded with a 0.9 m normal dispersion tantalum pentoxide waveguide was used to produce a flat optical frequency comb with a 4 dB flatness and 60 nm bandwidth in the 1 520 nm to 1 580 nm. The spectrogram evolution during the pulse transmission process was analyzed through the X-Frog technique, and the coherence of the optical frequency comb were also studied. The analysis indicates that the self-phase modulation and optical wave breaking effects make the comb spectrum envelop broadened and flattened. The first-order mutual coherence function calculation indicates that the optical frequency comb has good spectral coherence. The simulation results show that the tantalum pentoxide integrated nonlinear optical waveguide has a good prospect in the generation of high repetition rate flat coherent broadband optical frequency comb.
