Abstract
We present a comprehensive phase noise characterization of a mid-IR Cr:ZnS frequency comb. Despite their emergence as a platform for high-resolution dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS), detailed investigations into the phase noise of Cr:ZnS combs have been lacking. To address this, we use a recently proposed phase noise measurement technique that employs multi-heterodyne detection and subspace tracking. This allows for the measurement of common mode, repetition rate, and high-order phase noise terms and their corresponding scaling as a function of a comb-line number, using a single measurement setup. We demonstrate that the comb under test is dominated by the common mode phase noise, while all the other phase noise terms are below the measurement noise floor (∼-120 dB rad2/Hz) and are thereby not identifiable.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
