Abstract:
A frequency comb generator including a semiconductor, wherein the semiconductor outputs a frequency comb in response to frequency mixing of an optical field and at terahertz field in the semiconductor using a high order sideband (HSG) mechanism. The frequency comb spans a bandwidth sufficient for self-referencing and may be used in optical clock applications, for example.

Claim (Index 22):
A method of generating a frequency comb, comprising:\n obtaining a semiconductor comprising a bandstructure including a valence band, a conduction band, and a bandgap; irradiating the semiconductor with an optical field having a frequency corresponding to an energy equal to or larger than the bandgap, so that the optical field excites electrons into the conduction band and holes into the valence band; using a terahertz field to drive the electrons in the conduction band and drive the holes in the valence band; and selecting an intensity of the terahertz field, a timing of the terahertz field with respect to the optical field, and the bandstructure such that the semiconductor outputs a frequency comb having a bandwidth sufficient for self-referencing.
