  • Referencing of the beating spectra of frequency combs
    Patent number: 8477314
    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

    Date of Patent: July 2, 2013
    Assignee: Université Laval
