Abstract
An ultrafine electro-optical frequency comb (EOFC) with plentiful comb teeth is demonstrated. Adopting a single-frequency fiber laser as a light source, cascade phase modulation based on a sinusoidal signal and a frequency-time transformation (FTT) signal is executed to generate the EOFC with high fineness. Meanwhile, a cyclic fast frequency shifting strategy is introduced to boost the number of comb teeth and the bandwidth of the EOFC. As a result, an EOFC with 12600 comb lines covering a broad bandwidth from −6.3 GHz to 6.3 GHz is established, corresponding to an ultrafine comb space of 1 MHz. Moreover, the power fluctuation of a comb tooth is less than 0.5 dBm. This state-of-the-art EOFC has significant potential in the field of precision spectroscopy.
