  • Abstract
    We demonstrate a scheme to broaden the bandwidth of the Kerr frequency comb generated through mode interaction in a silicon nitride microresonator with normal dispersion. The broadened comb has a bandwidth of over 5 THz and can be compressed to the bandwidth limited time profile via dispersive fiber propagation.
