Description
Dual-comb laser sources are of high interest for many scientific and industrial applications. During the presentation we will highlight the latest advances in high performance single-cavity dual-comb modelocking, critically examining the potential challenges of single-cavity designs and exploring their prospective impact. The high mutual coherence and average powers directly obtainable from carefully designed laser oscillators provide the capability for coherent averaging in Fourier transform spectroscopy, ultra-low noise supercontinuum generation and efficient wavelength conversion via nonlinear processes. This renders these simple and compact sources highly interesting for practical dual-comb applications. We will discuss some latest experimental demonstrations involving precision ranging, pump-probe spectroscopy, and gas sensing.
