摘要：

We demonstrate a temperature stabilized CMOS-compatible frequency comb based on an integrated optical micro-ring resonator. The instrument operates in the wavelength interval 1520-1600 nm with a wide free spectral range (FSR) of 200 GHz. By embedding a highly sensitive "resistive thermal device" (RTD) on the surface of the chip to provide temperature feedback to the thermal electric cooler, the bench top unit achieves wavelength stability of similar to 1 pm over a 24 hour period with good power stability. The new frequency comb is designed to be robust, compact and portable. Our approach reduces the cost and complexity of existing high precision frequency combs currently used in the fields of metrology, remote sensing and stellar spectroscopy where high stability is required for prolonged periods of time.
