A Multi-Harmonic NIR-UV Dual-Comb Spectrometer
Abstract
Dual-comb spectroscopy in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible would enable broad bandwidth electronic spectroscopy with unprecedented frequency resolution. However, there are significant challenges in generation, detection and processing of dual-comb data that have restricted its progress in this spectral region. In this work, we leverage robust 1550 nm few-cycle pulses to generate frequency combs in the UV-visible. We couple this source to a wavelength multiplexed dual-comb spectrometer and simultaneously retrieve 100 MHz comb-mode-resolved spectra over three distinct harmonics spanning 380-800 nm. The experiments highlight the path to continuous dual-comb coverage spanning 200-750 nm, offering extensive access to electronic transitions in atoms, molecules, and solids.
