  • Patent number: 9903808
    Abstract: A comb source includes a continuous wave frequency source to provide a continuous wave radiation; a first modulator in optical communication with the continuous wave frequency source; a second modulator in optical communication with continuous wave frequency source; and a waveform driver in electrical communication with the first modulator and the second modulator. A process for producing an analyte spectrum includes producing a first comb from a continuous wave frequency and a first waveform; producing a reference comb and a probe comb from the first comb; subjecting a sample to the probe comb; producing a sample comb in response to subjecting the sample to the probe comb; producing a composite comb from the reference comb and the sample comb; producing a second comb from the continuous wave frequency and a second waveform; and combining the second comb and the composite comb to produce the analyte spectrum.
