چکیده

An infrared high-brightness light source based on supercontinuum generation through a SF6 photonic crystal fiber seeded by a Cr(4+):YAG femtosecond oscillator is developed for high resolution multiplex spectroscopy in the 1.5 μm region. Moreover, a multiplex high resolution approach based on a Cr(4+):YAG frequency comb enables to probe large spectral domains, with simultaneous sensitive measurement of the absorption and the dispersion associated with all individual spectral features.

Supercontinua for high-resolution absorption multiplex infrared spectroscopy.

Supercontinua generated in highly nonlinear fibers by ultrashort-pulse lasers can be used for high-resolution Fourier transform absorption spectroscopy. The practical advantages of these bright ultrabroadband light sources for spectroscopy in the near-infrared region are reported. A Cr(4+):YAG femtosecond laser broadened by an extruded soft-glass photonic crystal fiber, emitting from 1200 to 22...

Reference-free, high-resolution measurement method of timing jitter spectra of optical frequency combs

Timing jitter is one of the most important properties of femtosecond mode-locked lasers and optical frequency combs. Accurate measurement of timing jitter power spectral density (PSD) is a critical prerequisite for optimizing overall noise performance and further advancing comb applications both in the time and frequency domains. Commonly used jitter measurement methods require a reference mode...

Mid-infrared optical frequency combs based on difference frequency generation for molecular spectroscopy.

Mid-infrared femtosecond optical frequency combs were produced by difference frequency generation of the spectral components of a near-infrared comb in a 3-mm-long MgO:PPLN crystal. We observe strong pump depletion and 9.3 dB parametric gain in the 1.5 μm signal, which yields powers above 500 mW (3 μW/mode) in the idler with spectra covering 2.8 μm to 3.5 μm. Potential for broadband, high-resol...

Optical frequency comb spectroscopy.

Optical frequency combs offer enormous potential in the detection and control of atoms and molecules by combining their vast spectral coverage with the extremely high spectral resolution of each individual comb component. Sensitive and multiplexed trace gas detection via cavity-enhanced direct frequency comb spectroscopy has been demonstrated for various molecules and applications; however, pre...
