    • 摘要: 高集成度的全锁定微腔光学频率梳因其可扩展特性、高稳定特性,将广泛应用于芯片级量子计量标准。近年来基于耗散克尔孤子的微腔光频梳已被证明可应用于时间频率计量、长度计量、精密光谱测量等领域。然而自由运转状态的微腔孤子光频梳在外部扰动下难以长时间稳定工作,限制了系统的实用性与可靠性,因此获得完全相位锁定的微腔孤子光频梳对于芯片级量子计量标准至关重要。首先,概述了微腔孤子光频梳各自由度锁定技术,分别为泵浦锁定、重频锁定、偏频锁定。其次,简单回顾了基于上述三种锁定方法的全锁定技术及其计量应用。最后,对微腔孤子光频梳全锁定技术面临的挑战和未来发展趋势进行了分析和展望。

       

      Abstract: To explore the development of high-integration, fully stabilized microcavity optical frequency combs with promising applications in chip-scale quantum metrology standards, recent advancements have demonstrated that dissipative Kerr soliton-based microcombs are well-suited for time-frequency metrology, length metrology, and precision spectroscopy. However, due to the limitations in maintaining long-term stability under external perturbations, free-running soliton microcombs face challenges in practicality and reliability. Achieving a fully phase-locked soliton microcomb is thus essential for chip-scale quantum metrology standards. This research provides an overview of the locking techniques for various degrees of freedom in soliton microcombs, including pump frequency, repetition frequency, and carrier-envelope-offset frequency. In addition, a brief review is provided on full stabilization techniques based on the above three locking methods and their applications in optical metrology. Finally, challenges facing full-stabilization technology for soliton microcombs and future development are discussed.
