The spectral span is a critical metric for optical frequency combs. In this work, we report the broadest microcomb, whose spectrum ranges from visible to infrared wavelengths. To output such broad optical spectral from the microresonator to an optical fiber, the microresonator is slightly deformed to allow chaotic motion in the resonator to move the photons from the resonator to the optical fiber.
