The phase information provided by the beat note between frequency combs and two continuous-wave lasers is used to extrapolate the phase evolution of comb modes found in a spectral region obtained via nonlinear broadening. This thereafter enables using interferogram self-correction to fully retrieve the coherence of a dual-comb beat note between two independent fiber lasers. This approach allows the

self-referencing of both combs, which is a significant simplification. Broadband near-infrared methane spectroscopy has been conducted to demonstrate the simplified system’s preserved performance.
Coherence of dual-comb beat note between independent fiber lasers is retrieved without self-referencing, which is a simplification to existing systems. Broadband nearinfrared methane spectroscopy has been conducted to demonstrate the simplified system’s preserved performance.
We report methane spectroscopy with dual electro-optic combs using optical hybrids and pseudo-random modulation. This system helps investigate sources of systematic errors in dual-comb spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
