Abstract :
Femtosecond-laser frequency combs have revolutionized optical frequency metrology and precision timekeeping by providing a dense set of absolute reference lines that can span in excess of an octave. Beyond their natural application as an optical clockwork [1], frequency combs are used in diverse applications including measurements of fundamental physics, direct spectroscopy, and real-time trace detection and molecular fingerprinting [2].
