Abstract

Microresonator-based Kerr frequency combs (microcombs) have many outstanding features, including chip-level integration, high repetition rate, and ultrabroad bandwidth. These merits make microcombs very promising for integrated microwave photonic applications. Here, we provide a brief review on recent progress of microcomb generation and its application in microwave photonics. Both coherent and incoherent examples are discussed, including low-phase-noise microwave and optical frequency synthesis, programmable photonic microwave signal processing, true time delay beamforming, and channelized receiver. An outlook on the future research direction and key problems is also given.
