Abstract

Fiber laser frequency combs can provide a series of optical lines that span the spectrum from 1 to 2 υm. By tightly locking the frequency comb to an optical reference, it is possible for these comb lines to exhibit residual linewidths below 1 Hz and correspondingly high residual stabilities. We present the current design of our narrow-linewidth frequency comb and discuss some applications that are possible with such a coherent source.
