  • Referencing of the beating spectra of frequency combs
    Patent number: 8625101
    Abstract: There is provided a method for referencing and correcting the beating spectrum generated by the interference of the components of a frequency comb source. The proposed method allows monitoring of variations of a mapping between the source and the beating replica. This can then be used to compensate small variations of the source in Fourier transform spectroscopy or in any other interferometry application in order to overcome the accuracy and measurement time limitations of the prior art. Constraints on source stability are consequently reduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 7, 2014
    Assignee: Université Laval
    Inventors: Philippe Giaccari, Pierre Tremblay, Philippe Saucier, Jérôme Genest, Jean-Daniel Deschênes
