We demonstrate a scheme incorporating dual coupled microresonators through which mode interactions are intentionally introduced and controlled for Kerr frequency comb (microcomb) generation in the normal dispersion region. Microcomb generation, repetition rate selection, and mode locking are achieved with coupled silicon nitride microrings controlled via an on-chip microheater. Our results show for the first time that mode interactions can be programmably tuned to facilitate broadband normal-dispersion microcombs. The proposed scheme increases freedom in microresonator design and may make it possible to generate microcombs in an extended wavelength range (e.g., in the visible) where normal material dispersion is likely to dominate.
