Abstract

Frequency comb generated in high-Q microresonators benefit from the small footprint, flexible repetition rates and low power onset of frequency conversion. Active studies of the bidirectional microresonators have recently revealed new properties and applications relative to the unidirectional setups. Most notable of the fundamental effects existing in the bidirectional case is symmetry breaking [1] , [2]. Amongst applications we mention angular velocity measurement and dual-comb spectroscopy. In particular, the high-finesses microresonator features power dependent and phase insensitive nonlinear interaction between counterrotating waves [3] , [4] , which can be regarded as the power tuneable detuning shift. This provides a practical tool to block or release the frequency comb in either direction of the bidirectional resonator by solely controlling frequency or power of the counterpropagating field [4].
