Conjugate Fabry-Perot cavity pair for improved astro-comb accuracy

Opt Lett. 2012 Aug 1;37(15):3090-2. doi: 10.1364/OL.37.003090.

Abstract

We propose a new astro-comb mode-filtering scheme composed of two Fabry-Perot cavities (coined "conjugate Fabry-Perot cavity pair"). Simulations indicate that this new filtering scheme makes the accuracy of astro-comb spectral lines more robust against systematic errors induced by nonlinear processes associated with power-amplifying and spectral-broadening optical fibers.
