Comb the basis of locking.The chirped fiber cascade pulse amplifying technology traditionally used is using the effect of dispersion in optical fiber to seed light
Pulse width carry out time domain broadening, reduce pulse peak power then carry out optical fiber Cascaded amplification, realize power amplification
While achieve the purpose that reduce nonlinear effect.
However there is also many deficiencies for chirp Cascaded amplification system, limit optical frequency com to wide spectrum, high-precision
The development in equal directions.First, Gain-narrowing effect existing for gain fibre itself can significantly reduce pulse in Cascaded amplification and swash
The spectral component of light reduces the extreme pulse widths of pulse, the detection signal-to-noise ratio of carrier envelope position phase offset frequency is influenced, to limit
The locking precision and spectral width band of optical frequency com.Secondly, chirp Cascaded amplification system is generally required compared with long optical fibers in the time domain
Pulse is broadened, this will introduce a large amount of high-order dispersions and nonlinear noise, be not easy to compensate, and lead to the distortion of pulse, influence optics
The high-precision of frequency comb locks.On the other hand, the conventional carrier envelope phase locking technology based on pumping current feedback control is deposited
In the feature that narrow bandwidth, control range finite sum reaction speed are slower, it is wider that these deficiencies all limit femtosecond laser frequency comb
General application.
