1. A method for optical frequency comb control, comprising:
generating a train of control pulses, each of the control pulses being frequency-locked to a corresponding tooth of an optical frequency comb to be controlled, the frequency comb having a plurality of comb teeth that are separated from one another by a comb frequency spacing; and
individually modulating each comb tooth of the plurality of comb teeth via stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) using the train of control pulses.
