Pump-cavity synchronization mismatch in modulation instability induced optical frequency combs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the observation of frequency shift modulation instability sidelobes due to synchronization mismatch between pulsed pump period and resonator's round-trip time. show that a very small leads significant sidelobes. develop theory originating from absolute convective instabilities confirm experimental observations numerical simulations. The temporal drifts Turing patterns induced by are measured in real time using time-lens system theoretical predictions.

Colloquium: Femtosecond optical frequency combs
Recently there has been a remarkable synergy between the technologies of precision laser stabilization and mode-locked ultrafast lasers. This has resulted in control of the frequency spectrum produced by mode-locked lasers, which consists of a regular comb of sharp lines. Thus such a controlled mode-locked laser is a ‘‘femtosecond optical frequency comb generator.’’ For a sufficiently broad com...
متن کاملOptical Frequency Combs: From Frequency Metrology to Optical Phase Control
The merging of continuous wave laser-based precision optical-frequency metrology with mode-locked ultrafast lasers has led to precision control of the visible and near-infrared frequency spectrum produced by mode-locked lasers. Such a phase-controlled mode-locked laser forms the foundation of a “femtosecond optical-frequency comb generator” with a regular comb of sharp lines with well-defined f...
متن کاملElimination of pump-induced frequency jitter on fiber-laser frequency combs.
Optical frequency combs generated by femtosecond fiber lasers typically exhibit significant frequency noise that causes broad optical linewidths, particularly in the comb wings and in the carrier-envelope offset frequency (f(ceo)) signal. We show these broad linewidths are mainly a result of white amplitude noise on the pump diode laser that leads to a breathing-like motion of the comb about a ...
متن کاملEfficient modulation frequency doubling by induced modulation instability
Please cite this article in press as: S. Wabnitz, N We show that inducing modulation instability with a weak modulation whose frequency is such that its second harmonic falls within the band of instability may lead to asynchronous Fermi–Pasta–Ulam recurrence and efficient transfer of power from the pump into the second harmonic of the modulation, resulting in a periodic modulation at the second...
متن کاملImpact of cavity spectrum on span in microresonator frequency combs.
We experimentally study the factors that limit the span in frequency combs derived from the crystalline whispering gallery mode resonators. We observe that cavity dispersion is the key property that governs the parameters of the combs resulting from cascaded four wave mixing process. Two different regimes of comb generation are observed depending on the precise cavity dispersion behavior at the...
