Abstract
In this Letter, we report phase-matched four-wave mixing separated by over one-octave in a dispersion engineered crystalline microresonator. Experimental and numerical results presented here confirm that primary sidebands were generated with a frequency shift up to 140 THz, and that secondary sidebands formed a localized comb structure, known as a clustered comb in the vicinity of the primary sidebands. A theoretical analysis of the phase-matching condition validated our experimental observations, and our results good agree well with numerical simulations. These results offer the potential to realize a frequency tunable comb cluster generator operating from 1 um to mid-infrared wavelengths with a single and compact device.
