Abstract
We present a thorough analysis of the signal line shapes of Fourier-transform-based noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical frequency comb spectroscopy (NICE-OFCS). We discuss the signal dependence on the ratio of the modulation frequency, , to the molecular linewidth, . We compare a full model of the signals and a simplified absorption-like analytical model that has high accuracy for low ratios and is much faster to compute. We verify the theory experimentally by measuring and fitting the NICE-OFCS spectra of at 1575 nm using a system based on an Er:fiber femtosecond laser and a cavity with a finesse of .
