Ultra-broadband dual-comb spectroscopy across 1.0-1.9 {\mu}m

Optics 2015-07-30 v1

Abstract

We have carried out dual-comb spectroscopy and observed in a simultaneous acquisition a 140-THz-wide spectrum from 1.0 to 1.9 {\mu}m using two fiber-based frequency combs phase-locked to each other. This ultra-broad wavelength bandwidth is realized by setting the difference between the repetition rates of the two combs to 7.6 Hz using the sub-Hz-linewidth fiber combs. The recorded spectrum contains five vibration-rotation bands of C2{_2}H2{_2}, CH4{_4}, and H2{_2}O at different wavelengths across the whole spectrum. The determined transition frequencies of C2{_2}H2{_2} agree with those from the previous sub-Doppler resolution measurement of individual lines using CW lasers within 2 MHz.
