| Abstract: | The width of an optical frequency comb (OFC) was increased to 30 THz by using self-phase modulation (SPM) in an optical fiber. This value is 2.7 times larger than the maximum OFC span obtained by the OFC generator alone. We compare the resulting spectrum to numerical simulations to confirm that the SPM and the higher order dispersion of the fiber contribute to broaden the spectral profile |
