High resolution dual comb spectroscopy and ranging

Spectroscopy and metrology are amongst the most important applications of electromagnetic fields The very fast oscillations of light (up to 200 THz in the infrared) permit very precise distance measurements as well as broadband analysis of radiations emitted and absorbed by matter. The technologies have evolved tremendously over the years and, at the turn of the century, a ground-breaking technology was proposed. By using two sources of optical pulse trains (corresponding to optical frequency combs in the spectral domain), no moving parts would be required, and much faster measurements could be performed. So-called dual comb spectroscopy and ranging have had a very significant impact on…
