We generate broad bandwidth visible light ranging from 498 to 611 nm via third-harmonic generation in a silica toroid microcavity. The silica toroid microcavity is fed with a continuous-wave input at a telecom wavelength, where third-harmonic generation follows the generation of an infrared Kerr comb via cascaded four-wave-mixing and stimulated Raman scattering effects. Thanks to these cascaded effects (four-wave mixing, stimulated Raman scattering, and third-harmonic generation) in an ultrahigh-Q microcavity, a broad bandwidth visible light is obtained. The visible light couples with the whispering gallery mode of the cavity by demonstrating the evanescent coupling of the generated visible light with a tapered fiber based on an add-drop configuration.
