We investigate coherent Kerr combs generation via Brillouin lasing in a non-reciprocal cavity. This approach offers adjustable repetition rates and enhanced coherence. A numerical model is presented that ac-counts for the interplay between Brillouin scattering, Kerr effect, and cavity resonant feedback. Through quan-titative agreement with experiments, our study highlights the importance of mode-pulling effects in setting the comb’s dynamics, which had been overlooked in previous fiber experiments. Finally, we discuss limitations and suggest scaling laws for these systems.
