Abstract
Backward stimulated Brillouin scattering has a wide range of applications in optics and microwave photonics. In this paper, we realize a Brillouin microcomb multiplexing in magnesium fluoride microbottle resonators by generating a stable Brillouin laser and axial two-dimensional frequency combs in the resonator. The magnesium fluoride microbottle resonator is equipped with numerous higher-order mode families with a quality factor as high as 108. These advantages result in an effective multiplexed Kerr microcombs and Brillouin axial Kerr microcombs with comb bandwidths of up to 60 nm by varying the detuning conditions by adjusting the pump power. The magnesium fluoride microbottle resonators provide a new optical platform for practical applications in frequency conversion, comb metrology, and spectroscopy. The multiplexing approach may lead to significant simplification and flexible method in achieving comb interferometry and the deployment of the multi-comb based on microresonator.
