Microresonator photonic wire bond integration for Kerr-microcomb generation.

ABSTRACT: Extremely high-Q microresonators provide an attractive platform for a plethora of photonic applications including optical frequency combs, high-precision metrology, telecommunication, microwave generation, narrow linewidth lasers, and stable frequency references. Moreover, the desire for compactness and a low power threshold for nonlinear phenomena have spurred investigation into integrated and scalable solutions. Historically, crystalline microresonators with Q ∼ 10⁹ were one of the first material platforms providing unprecedented optical performance in a small form factor. A key challenge, though, with these devices is in finding alternatives to fragile, bulky, and free-space couplers, such as tapered fibers, prisms, and cleaved fibers. Here, we present for the first time, the
