Abstract
We study the dynamical response of two nonlinear microresonators coupled with a photonic crystal waveguide. We find a domain in the space of frequency and amplitude of the probing light where all stationary solutions are unstable. In this domain, scattered light carries multiple harmonics with equidistantly spaced frequencies [frequency comb (FC) effect]. Two identical resonators coupled with the waveguide support the symmetry-protected bound state in the continuum whose response is singular, as the amplitude of the injected wave tends to zero. As a result, the FC interval tends to zero when the amplitude of probing light diminishes, which paves the way for all-optical generation of waves with ultralow frequency.
