Abstract

We report on the measurement of an Erbium-fiber oscillator’s carrier-envelope-offset frequency using an extruded SF6 photonic crystal fiber for the generation of a more than two octave-spanning supercontinuum from 400 nm to beyond 1750 nm. A modified type of f-2f-interferometer was employed, beating the frequency doubled input signal of the fiber oscillator with the supercontinuum to generate the carrier-envelope-offset beat. Controlling the fiber oscillator’s pump power with an electronic feedback loop, we phase-locked the carrier-envelope-offset frequency to an external reference source. The resulting residual phase excursions correspond to fractional frequency instabilities of the oscillator’s frequency comb of the order of 10-16 for averaging times longer than 10 s.

RF spectrum measured after the 800 nm single-mode-fiber at a resolution bandwidth of 30 kHz. The lower peaks (~35 dB about noise floor) at 13 MHz and 46 MHz are the carrier-envelope-offset-frequency beats and the narrow big peak corresponds to the oscillators repetition rate of ~59 MHz.
