Soliton microcombs based on microresonators are promising coherent light sources with high repetition rates; however, conventional systems have been large in size and unstable. In this study, we developed a 19-inch rack-mounted microcomb source using a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF)-coupled, temperature-controlled SiN microresonator. By employing auxiliary-laser-assisted thermal control and temperature stabilization, stable single-soliton generation and long-term operation exceeding 24 hours were successfully demonstrated.
