Numerical study of comb-based high-accuracy distance measurement utilizing VIPA interferometry
摘要: The ultrahigh-precision distance measurement based on a single laser frequency comb as the multi-wavelength source together with an ultra-high-resolution dispersive spectrometer utilizing a virtually imaged phase array (VIPA) was studied numerically. The simulations provide the component parameter optimization and the comb spectral images on a CCD camera. An ameliorated scheme was proposed through achieving real-time comparisons between the reference and interference signals captured on a camera simultaneously to improve both the measurement accuracy and the precision signi?cantly. With the optimized data processing, the proposed approach is especially suitable for serving as a ultra-high precision relative distance measurement, and the measurement resolution can reach picometer scale in the optimal cases.

Hybrid Integrated Semiconductor Lasers with Silicon Nitride Feedback Circuits
摘要: Hybrid integrated semiconductor laser sources offering extremely narrow spectral linewidth, as well as compatibility for embedding into integrated photonic circuits, are of high importance for a wide range of applications. We present an overview on our recently developed hybrid-integrated diode lasers with feedback from low-loss silicon nitride (Si3N4 in SiO2) circuits, to provide sub-100-Hz-level intrinsic linewidths, up to 120 nm spectral coverage around a 1.55 μm wavelength, and an output power above 100 mW. We show dual-wavelength operation, dual-gain operation, laser frequency comb generation, and present work towards realizing a visible-light hybrid integrated diode laser.

Searching for exoplanets using a microresonator astrocomb
摘要: Orbiting planets induce a weak radial velocity (RV) shift in the host star that provides a powerful method of planet detection. Importantly, the RV technique provides information about the exoplanet mass, which is unavailable with the complementary technique of transit photometry. However, RV detection of an Earth-like planet in the ‘habitable zone’ requires extreme spectroscopic precision that is only possible using a laser frequency comb (LFC). Conventional LFCs require complex filtering steps to be compatible with astronomical spectrographs, but a new chip-based microresonator device, the Kerr soliton microcomb, is an ideal match for astronomical spectrograph resolution and can eliminate these filtering steps. Here, we demonstrate an atomic/molecular line-referenced soliton microcomb for calibration of astronomical spectrographs. These devices can ultimately provide LFC systems that would occupy only a few cubic centimetres, thereby greatly expanding implementation of these technologies into remote and mobile environments beyond the research lab.
