Abstract :
A second femtosecond optical frequency comb has been implemented at NPL. This higher repetition rate system offers several advantages over our existing comb, and enables the accuracy of the frequency measurement process to be tested. Results of absolute frequency measurements carried out using the two different systems are compared
