Widely tunable extreme UV frequency comb generation.

چکیده
Extreme UV (XUV) frequency comb generation in the wavelength range of 51 to 85 nm is reported based on high-order harmonic generation of two consecutive IR frequency comb pulses that were amplified in an optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier. The versatility of the system is demonstrated by recording direct XUV frequency comb excitation signals in He, Ne, and Ar with visibilities of up to 61%.

Widely-tunable mid-infrared frequency comb source based on difference frequency generation.
We report on a mid-IR frequency comb source of unprecedented tunability covering the entire 3-10 μm molecular fingerprint region. The system is based on difference frequency generation in a GaSe crystal pumped by a 151 MHz Yb:fiber frequency comb. The process was seeded with Raman-shifted solitons generated in a highly nonlinear suspended-core fiber with the same source. Average powers up to 1....
متن کاملFiber-laser-based frequency comb with a tunable repetition rate.
A phase-locked, self-referenced frequency comb generated by a mode-locked fiber soliton laser with a tunable repetition rate is presented. The spacing of the frequency comb is set by the laser's repetition rate, which can be scanned from 49.3 MHz to 50.1 MHz while one tooth of the comb is held phase-locked to a stable RF source. This variable repetitionrate frequency comb should be useful for w...
متن کاملPhotonic generation of pulsed microwave signals with tunable frequency and phase based on spectral-shaping and frequency-to-time mapping.
A scheme for photonic generation of pulsed microwave signals with tunable frequency and phase based on optical spectral-shaping and frequency-to-time mapping is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The spectral shaping is realized by a tunable optical comb filter consisting of a differential group delay (DGD) element, a polarization modulator (PolM), and a polarizer. By passing a short opt...
متن کاملLossless equalization of frequency combs.
Frequency combs obtained by sinusoidal phase modulation of narrowband cw lasers are widely used in the field of optical communications. However, the resulting spectral envelope of the comb is not flat. We propose a general and efficient approach to achieve flat frequency combs with tunable bandwidth. The idea is based on a two-step process. First, efficient generation of a train with a temporal...
متن کاملSelf-referenceable frequency comb from an ultrafast thin disk laser.
We present the first measurement of the carrier envelope offset (CEO) frequency of an ultrafast thin disk laser (TDL). The TDL used for this proof-of-principle experiment was based on the gain material Yb:Lu(2)O(3) and delivered 7 W of average power in 142-fs pulses, which is more than two times shorter than previously realized with this material. Using only 65 mW of the output of the laser, we...
