Quantum-well laser diodes for frequency comb spectroscopy

We demonstrate simple optical frequency combs based on semiconductor quantum well laser diodes. The frequency comb spectrum can be tailored by choice of material properties and quantum-well widths, providing spectral flexibility. We demonstrate the correlation in the phase fluctuations between two d...

Description
Summary:We demonstrate simple optical frequency combs based on semiconductor quantum well laser diodes. The frequency comb spectrum can be tailored by choice of material properties and quantum-well widths, providing spectral flexibility. We demonstrate the correlation in the phase fluctuations between two devices on the same chip by generating a radio-frequency dual comb spectrum.
