Small resonators - with tight bending radii - offer the large free-spectral range desirable for wide comb formation. However, the tighter bending usually limit comb formation as it enhances normal group velocity dispersion. We experimentally demonstrate that engineering the sidewall angle of small-radius (100 $\\mu$m), 3 $\\mu$m-thick silica wedge microdisks enables dispersion tuning in both normal and anomalous regimes, without significantly affecting the free spectral range. A microdisk with wedge angle of $55^{\\circ}$ (anomalous dispersion) is used to demonstrate a 300 nm bandwidth Kerr optical frequency comb.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.11625v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.11625v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dispersion-tailoring-in-wedge-microcavities","repo_url":"https://github.com/marvync/microcavities-dispersion","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
