Multiple kerr-frequency-comb generation using different lines from a remote kerr comb

A communication system for generating multiple Kerr frequency combs, comprising:

• a first microresonator connected to a laser controlled by an arbitrary function generator to generate a master Kerr frequency comb;
• a first demultiplexer coupled to the first microresonator and configured to split the master Kerr frequency comb onto a first comb line with a slave comb pump and a second comb line with a data signal;
• and
• a combiner configured to transmit a combined slave comb pump and data signal.

A method of generating multiple Kerr frequency combs, comprising:

• generating, using a first microresonator, a master Kerr frequency comb using a master signal;
• splitting or demultiplexing, using a splitter or demultiplexer, the master Kerr frequency comb into a first data signal, a first slave signal, a second data signal and a second slave signal;
• combining, using a first combiner, the first data signal and the first slave signal into a first combined signal;
• combining, using a second combiner, the second data signal and the second slave signal into a second combined signal;
• and
• transmitting, using the first combiner and the second combiner, the first combined signal to a first receiver and the second combined signal to a second receiver.
