Abstract
Nonlinear wave mixing in optical microresonators offers a route to chip-level optical frequency combs. The properties of the combs generated depend crucially on the interaction between nonlinearity and dispersion. This tutorial will discuss comb generation in both anomalous and normal dispersion microresonators, with an emphasis on recent advances in the normal dispersion regime.
