Abstract
We have introduced a mechanical sharing mode-locked dual-comb fiber laser with a linear and short laser cavity. Dual-comb ultrashort pulses with high repetition rate of 225 MHz, and repetition rate difference of 13.2 kHz have been obtained. Due to the special mechanical sharing design, the dual-comb laser source has exhibited relative stability and mutual coherence. The standard deviation of repetition rate difference is only 0.6 Hz over 30 min. Besides, the relative intensity noises of the two combs indicate that they have a high similarity of common-mode noise. It is also found that the dual-comb interferogram and its RF spectrum can remain stable for a long time without spectrum aliasing. Finally, a proof-of-principle dual-comb spectroscopy experiment with mode-resolved capability has been demonstrated. The experimental results indicate this mechanical sharing dual-comb fiber laser with good mode-locking performance and compact size has the potential to be used in various dual-comb measurements.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
