Single-short-cavity dual-comb fiber laser with over 120 kHz repetition rate difference based on polarization
Abstract:
An all-fiber single-short-cavity dual-comb laser with a high repetition rate of up to 500 MHz and a high repetition rate difference of over 120 kHz was demonstrated. The laser setup exploits high birefringence of a polarization-maintaining gain fiber to generate asynchronous combs based on the polarization-multiplexing method. By adopting short-linear-cavity and all-birefringent configuration, a repetition rate difference several orders of magnitude larger than that of a previous work was achieved. The soliton dual-comb showed good mutual coherence and stability, which reveals the potential to enhance the acquisition rate and accuracy of dual-comb measurement systems.
