Kerr frequency combs in large size ultra high Q toroid microcavities with low re

By overcoming fabrication limitations, we have successfully fabricated silica toroid microcavities with both large diameter (of 1.88 mm) and ultra-high-Q factor (of 3.3×108) for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. By employing these resonators, we have further demonstrated low-threshold Kerr frequency combs on a silicon chip, which allow us to obtain a repetition rate as low as 36 GHz. Such a low repetition rate frequency comb can now be directly measured through a commercialized optic
