摘要

Optical frequency division has revolutionized microwave and millimetre-wave generation and set spectral purity records owing to its unique capability to transfer high fractional stability from optical to electronic frequencies. Recently, rapid developments in integrated optical reference cavities and microresonator-based optical frequency combs (microcombs) have created a path to transform optical frequency division technology to the chip scale. Here we demonstrate an ultralow-phase-noise millimetre-wave oscillator by leveraging integrated photonic components and microcavity Kerr optical frequency division. The oscillator derives its stability from an integrated complementary-metal–oxide–semiconductor-compatible SiN coil cavity, and the optical frequency division is achieved spontaneously through Kerr interaction in the integrated SiN microresonator between the soliton microcombs and the injected reference lasers. Besides achieving low phase noise for integrated millimetre-wave oscillators, our demonstration greatly simplifies the implementation of integrated optical frequency division oscillators and could be useful in applications of radar, spectroscopy and astronomy.
