1. A device comprising:
a substrate;
a microring resonator comprising a lithium niobate layer having a thickness of equal to or less than 1 micron, the microring resonator disposed on the substrate;
a pair of electrodes electrically coupled to said microring resonator to allow for applying a microwave signal to the microring resonator for modulating a refractive index of the microring resonator;
a pump laser optically coupled to the microring resonator,
wherein the microring resonator is adapted to emit a Kerr frequency comb when driven by said microwave signal and receiving a pump mode from the pump laser.
