Abstrakt: In this paper, we experimentally investigate a novel feedback loop scheme to generate optical frequency comb with varying free spectral range (FSR) spacing in a high-Q silicon nitride (Si3N4) micro-ring resonator. By selecting and amplifying different feedback sidebands, comb line spacing varying from 1-fold to 6-fold FSRs is successfully achieved. This approach could be beneficial to tune the comb repetition rate which is an important parameter for many applications, such as optical coherent communications, optical metrology and arbitrary waveform generation.
