Abstract
We have demonstrated a method that efficiently transfers the power fro m a single-frequency laser into a wideband frequency comb. The comb wa s produced by a 2.7-GHz electro-optic modulator in a resonant optical cavity. A coupled cavity technique was used to transfer 8.5% of the la ser power into a comb with a span of 400 modes, or more than 1 THz.
