Dual-comb correction with spectrally broadened fiber lasers

Optics 2019-09-25 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

The phase information provided by the beat note between frequency combs and two continuous-wave lasers is used to extrapolate the phase evolution of comb modes found in a spectral region obtained via nonlinear broadening. This thereafter enables using interferogram self-correction to fully retrieve the coherence of a dual-comb beat note between two independent fiber lasers. This approach allows to forego the f2ff - 2f self-referencing of both combs, which is a significant simplification. Broadband near-infrared methane spectroscopy has been conducted as a demonstration of the simplified system's preserved performance.
