Abstract
Optical frequency combs have become the key technology in optical precision measurements [1], bear a high potential for broadband, high-resolution molecular spectroscopy [2] and are promising to advance future optical clocks [3]. For low-power, compact and mobile applications, high-repetition-rate combs such as continuous-wave-pumped Kerr combs [4] and soliton frequency combs based on a third-order nonlinearity [5] have turned out to be especially useful. Thus far, most of these frequency combs operate in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral regime around 1550 nm for reasons such as chromatic material dispersion. Many applications ranging from astronomical spectroscopy, optical clocks and quantum physics all the way to molecular sensing, however, require the frequency combs to be centered in the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectral regimes [3,6-8].
