Abstract

Microcavity Optical Frequency Combs (OFCs) have significant application value in dual-comb spectroscopy

coherent optical communication

laser radar

optical clocks

and other fields due to their advantages of miniaturization

low power consumption

integration

and high c

oherence. The article first outlines the research significance of microcavity OFCs

then briefly describes the preparation and packaging of Magnesium Fluoride (MgF

) microcavities. Next

the article introduces the microcavity OFCs and focuses on the generation and regulation methods of MgF

microcavity OFCs. Finally

it highlights the applications of MgF

microcavity OFCs

including microwave photonics

optical communication

and precision measurement.
