Mode-resolved optical frequency comb fixed point localization via dual-comb interferometry.
We describe improved methods for locating the fixed point of an optical frequency comb. Two continuous-wave lasers are locked to a reference frequency comb and track the optical phase of a second comb-under-test (CUT) at two points separated by approximately 1.6 THz. Carrier-envelope and optical phase tracking (OPT) yields a precise fixed point measurement across a range of pump modulation frequencies (400 Hz-250 kHz). Sub-nanometer shifts of the fixed point are observed. The fixed point is also determined with high precision using dual-comb interferometry (DCI), and the value closely matches the calculation from the dual-point tracking method.
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.
