    Abstract

    Much progress, both experimentally and theoretically, has recently been made towards optical-frequency-comb generation from continuously pumped second-order nonlinear systems. Here, we present observations towards finding an integrated solution for such a system, using a titanium-indiffused lithium-niobate waveguide resonator. These results are compared to the recently developed theory for equivalent systems. The system is seen to exhibit strong instabilities, which require further investigation in order to fully determine the suitability of this platform for stable optical-frequency-comb generation.
