Abstract A tunable high-order sideband spectra generation scheme is presented by using a photonic molecule optomechanical system coupled to waveguide beyond the perturbation regime. The coherently driven two-tone laser consisting of continuous-wave control field and pulsed driving which propagates through waveguide. frequency spectral feature output analyzed via numerical simulations, we confirm that under condition intense nanosecond pulse driving, spectrum exhibits properties spectra. In experimentally available parameter range, can be efficiently tuned parameters, including power coupling rate between cavities. addition, analysis carrier-envelop phase-dependent effect indicates may present dependence upon phase pulse. This provide further insight cavity optomechanics in nonlinear non-perturbative regime, have potential applications optical comb communication based on platform.
