1 GHz mode-spacing from the taccor comb

An extension to the successful range of taccor lasers, the taccor comb is Laser Quantum’s first complete frequency comb system, comprising; a powerful 1 GHz turn-key Ti:Sapphire laser and a matched dispersion compensation module, supercontinuum generation and ultra-stable f-to-2f interferometer all in a single sealed and ultra-stable housing. The taccor comb provides the ideal solution for customers who seek to have a comb source with easy access to the visible and NIR spectral range at a high mode power level in a sealed, plug and play architecture. The high repetition rate of 1 GHz leads to a large mode spacing and high power per mode on the order of typically 1 μW after broadening.

In addition, the comb offers high repetition rates enabling generation of significantly more supercontinuum average power in a PCF compared to systems at 100 MHz (100 x more) or 250 MHz (16 x more) before significant nonlinear coherence loss is suffered. This leads to a significantly enhanced SNR for heterodyne beat measurements or direct frequency comb spectroscopy applications. The taccor comb offers numerous benefits to metrology, optical clock precision and searching for exoplanets. The large mode spacing of 1 GHz allows easy determination of the comb mode index and high powers are achievable per frequency comb tooth (at 1 GHz), approximately 100 times higher than with a conventional 100 MHz laser.
