Reference-free dual-comb spectroscopy with inbuilt coherence

We demonstrate a simple system for dual-comb spectroscopy based on two inherently coherent optical frequency combs generated via seeded parametric down-conversion. The inbuilt coherence is established by making the two combs share a common comb line. We show that the inbuilt coherence makes it possible to use a simple numerical post-processing procedure to compensate for small drifts of the dual-comb interferogram arrival-time and phase. This enables long-time coherent averaging of the interferograms.

Coherent beam combining of optical vortices

We experimentally demonstrate the power scaling of optical vortices by the coherent beam combining, encompassing topological charges ranging from l=1 to l=5 realized on the basis of a Yb-doped fiber short-pulsed laser system. The combining efficiency varies from 83.2 to 96.9% depending on the topological charge and beam pattern quality generated by the spatial light modulators. These results open a pathway to high-intensity optical vortices with enormous potential applications in science and industry by utilizing advances in light-matter interactions.
