  • Abstract
    Wavelength-spacing tunable multi-wavelength source by controlling the intermodal transitions induced via dynamic reconfiguration of a nested photonic crystal cavity, through optically induced free carriers, is proposed. Optical combs spanning the entire C-band are demonstrated numerically.
