主　　题：synthesizer tunable tuning 

摘      要：Optical frequency synthesizers have widespread applications in optical spectroscopy,frequency metrology,and many other ***,their applicability is currently limited by size,cost,and power *** photonics technology,which is compatible with complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor fabrication processes,provides a low-cost,compact size,lightweight,and low-power-consumption *** this work,we demonstrate an optical frequency synthesizer using a fully integrated silicon-based tunable *** synthesizer can be self-calibrated by tuning the repetition rate of the internal mode-locked laser.A 20 nm tuning range from 1544 to 1564 nm is achieved with~10−13 frequency instability at 10 s averaging *** flexibility and fast reconfigurability are also demonstrated by fine tuning the synthesizer and generating arbitrary specified patterns over time-frequency *** work promotes the frequency stability of silicon-based integrated tunable lasers and paves the way toward chip-scale lowcost optical frequency synthesizers.
