Abstract
Magnon Kerr nonlinearity plays a crucial role in the study of an optomagnonical system and may bring many interesting physical phenomena and important applications. In this Letter, we report the investigation of high-order sideband generation induced by magnon Kerr nonlinearity in an optomagnonical system, which is still unexplored in this emerging research field. We uncover that the microwave driving field plays a significant role in manipulating the generation and amplification of the higher-order sidebands and, more importantly, the sideband spacing can be regulated by controlling the beat frequency between the pump laser and the probe laser, which is extremely eventful for the spacing modulation of the sideband frequency comb. Based on the recent experimental progress, our results will deepen our cognition into optomagnonical nonlinearity and may find fundamental applications in optical frequency metrology and optical communications.
