Résumé

We investigate the generation of trains of short optical pulses whose repetition frequency is imposed by the free spectral range of a silicon microring resonator embedded into a fiber laser cavity. According to the microresonator selected in a silicon-on-insulator chip, the pulse trains are obtained with repetition frequencies ranging from 110 GHz to 450 GHz. Regimes where multiple pulses are generated in the microresonator are also shown, and nonlinear broadening of the laser lines is observed.
