Abstract
Detection of extrasolar planets by measurement of the stellar radial velocity shift requires high resolution spectroscopy with long term stability. Presently, the primary wavelength standards in the NIR are NePt and ThAr lamps and absorption cells. These suffer from a combination of sparse spectral coverage, low intensity, and questionable long-term stability. As an alternative, we present a laser frequency comb uniformly covering the H band and a portion of the J band, with frequency precision better than 1e-11 and mode spacing suitable for a 50,000 resolution spectrograph.Proceedings Title
