Abstract :
Er3+ -doped fiber-lasers efficiently generate frequency-combs for optical frequency metrology. We have for the first time resolved the two main concerns against fiber lasers vs the well established Ti:Sa technology by increasing the repetition rate to 250 MHz and decreasing the carrier envelope offset phase noise well below 1 rad.
