Physical Review A

Arising from modulation instability, Turing rolls in optical Kerr microresonators have been used in the generation of optical frequency combs and the synthesis of microwave and terahertz frequencies. In this work, by applying electro-optic modulation on terahertz-frequency Turing rolls, we implement electro-optic frequency division with a microcomb to synthesize variable low-noise microwave signals. We also actively stabilize the terahertz oscillations to a microwave reference via intracavity power modulation, obtaining fractional frequency instabilities that are better than those of the free-running situation by up to six orders of magnitude. This study not only highlights the extraordinary spectral purity of Turing-roll oscillations but also opens the way for bidirectional terahertz-to-microwave links with hybrid optical-frequency-comb techniques.
