Abstract: Microresonator frequency combs (microcombs) hold potential for precision metrology in a compact form factor impacting applications such as point-of-care diagnostics, environmental monitoring, time-keeping, navigation and astronomy. Through the principle of self-injection locking, electrically-driven chip-based microcombs with low complexity are now possible. However, phase-stabilisation of such self-injection-locked microcombs, a prerequisite for metrological frequency combs, has yet to be attained. Here, addressing this critical need, we demonstrate full phase-stabilisation of a self-injection-locked microcomb. The microresonator is implemented in a silicon nitride photonic chip, and by controlling a pump laser diode and a microheater with low voltage signals (sub 1.5 V), we achieve independent actuation of the comb's offset and line spacing frequencies. Both actuators reach a bandwidth of over 100 kHz and permit phase-locking of the microcomb to external frequency references. These results establish photonic chip-based, self-injection-locked microcombs as a low-complexity, yet versatile source for coherent precision metrology in emerging applications.
