Broadband, electro-optic, dual-comb spectrometer for linear and nonlinear measurements

Abstract

We demonstrate a dual-comb spectrometer based on electro-optic modulation of a continuous-wave laser at 10 GHz. The system simultaneously offers fast acquisition speed and ultrabroad spectral coverage, spanning 120 THz across the near infrared. Our spectrometer is highly adaptable, and we demonstrate absorption spectroscopy of atmospheric gases and a dual-comb configuration that captures nonlinear Raman spectra of semiconductor materials via coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The ability to rapidly and simultaneously acquire broadband spectra with high frequency resolution and high sensitivity points to new possibilities for hyperspectral sensing in fields such as remote sensing, biological detection and imaging, and machine vision.
