Abstract

We have used an optical frequency interval division method that is based on optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) only to reduce a large frequency difference between 1064 nm of the YAG laser and divided by 3 of 532 nm. The 47 THz frequency span can be measure by the comb of optical frequencies emitted by a mode-locked laser or by the parallel connection of OPOs and optical frequency comb generators.
