Free-running mode-locked laser based dual-comb spectroscopy

Opt Lett. 2018 Dec 1;43(23):5809-5812. doi: 10.1364/OL.43.005809.

Abstract

We present a real-time dual-comb spectrometer operated from a bidirectional mode-locked fiber laser in the wavelength range of 1.9 μm. Two pulsed signals emitted from a common cavity ensure mutual coherence and common mode noise rejection. The resulting spectrometer operates without any complex electronic feedback system.
