FC1500-ULNplus Optical Frequency Comb
Description
The FC1500-ULNplus Ultra Low Noise Optical Frequency Comb brings the system performance to the next level. Additional hardware, optimized components and engineering ingenuity resulted in a perfect flywheel for transferring frequency stability between two or more user-defined frequencies at the 10−19 level. This exceeds the stability of any optical oscillator demonstrated to date, and transcends the stability requirement for optical clocks.
The ability to measure sub-10exp(−18) level frequency shifts can be relevant for applications such as optical clocks in quantum sensing and fundamental physics. Our all polarization maintaining figure 9® mode locking technology together with high bandwidth actuators (>1 MHz) for both the carrier-envelope offset frequency and the repetition rate guarantee ultimate performance.
The performance is proven in an out of loop comparison between two independent ULNplus optical frequency combs, which is integral part of the quality check during factory acceptance of each system. Thus Menlo guarantees and proves by measurement that the outstanding spectral purity of the oscillator is transferred perfectly to the desired wavelength for every system delivered.
