Frequency Comb Spectroscopy - From IR to XUV
Abstract
The proposed work explores the frontiers of coherent light-matter interactions in spectral regions that have yet to witness such advanced developments. Optical frequency combs offer enormous potential in the detection and control of atoms and molecules by combining high sensitivity, precise frequency control, broad spectral coverage, and high resolution in one experimental platform. Sensitive and multiplexed trace gas detection via cavity-enhanced direct frequency comb spectroscopy (CE-DFCS) has been demonstrated for various molecules and applications, as well as precise quantum control of atomic transitions via coherent pulse accumulations. Future spectroscopic and quantum control capabilities will be created by developing frequency comb sources in the deep ultraviolet and mid-infrared spectral regions. We emphasize that these distant spectral regions will in fact be coherently connected, creating a new frontier for coherent spectroscopy and broad bandwidth high-resolution quantum control of molecular dynamics. We will also bring revolutionary impact on precision metrology and ultrafast science from the visible spectral region to the next exciting frontier of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) by developing powerful XUV frequency combs.
