contents We report the generation of broadband frequency combs in fiber Fabry-Perot resonators in the normal dispersion regime enabled by the excitation of switching waves. We theoretically characterise the process by means of a transverse linear stability analysis of the Lugiato-Lefever equation, enabling precise prediction of the switching waves' frequencies. Experimentally, we employed a pulsed-pump fiber Fabry-Perot resonator operating in the normal dispersion regime, integrated into an all-fiber experimental setup. The synchronisation mismatch and the influence of dispersion is thoroughly discussed, unveiling the potential to generate a frequency comb spanning over 15 THz bandwidth, specifically leveraging a flattened low dispersion cavity.
