The invention is an optical frequency comb sub-system that utilizes nano-scale photonic waveguides made of aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) to perform the nonlinear frequency conversion required to realize f-to-2f self-referencing. Thanks to the high optical nonlinearities, this task can be
Various embodiments of the present technology provide a novel architecture for optical frequency conversion in a waveguide which can be applied to any suitable nonlinear waveguide material and any wavelength. In accordance with some embodiments, phase-matched bends can be used to increase the
