Optical frequency comb based on four-wave-mixing in a highly nonli-near fiber combined with electro-optic modulation
Abstract
En los últimos 20 años los peines de frecuencias ópticas basados en lasers de femtosegundos representaron una revolución en el área de metrología y medidas de precisión, permitiendo medir directamente frecuencias de varias centenas de THz, así, como posibilitando el advenimiento de relojes atomicos ópticos. En este trabajo, estudiamos la generación de peines de frecuencias ópticas con base en moduladores electrópticos y fibras altamente no lineales, con el objetivo de implementar nuevas configuraciones y generar espectros con el mayor ancho de banda y alta coherencia entre las frecuencias generadas, aprovechando componentes comerciales disponibles en las comunicaciones ópticas.
Nosotros implementamos un peine de frecuencias ópticas basado en efectos no lineales a través de una fibra óptica altamente no lineal combinándolo con modulación electroóptica. Los resultados experimentales muestran un peine de frecuencias ópticas con más de 100 nm de ancho de banda centrado en 1550 nm y con 25 GHz de separación entre las frecuencias, usando dos láseres continuos.
