Menlo Systems' Optical Frequency Synthesizers have led to spectacular advances in the field of metrology by enabling scientists to examine the frequency of light with greater precision than ever before. Our systems are widely used throughout the world of research and applied science - measuring optical frequencies from the visible to the infrared at the 10-14 level has become routine. Our expertise in metrology is enabling us to tailor our patented frequency comb technology for the demands of todays high precision measurements.

Applications

• Measures/generates optical frequencies in the near infrared spectral region with unprecedented accuracy and stability.
• Optical Frequency Comb Generation. Provides 500,000 precise laser lines with variable spacing.
• The FC1500 multiplies a radio frequency reference into the optical region.
• Available with 100 MHz and 250 MHz comb spacing

New features make the M-Comb (250 MHz) and C-Comb (100 MHz) ideal core components of versatile optical frequency comb systems with improved performance. The three optical output ports can be amplified and by subsequent frequency conversion the IR and the VIS spectral ranges are simultaneously available for precision measurements. The high repetition rate entails larger spacing between the comb modes, which ensures easy and straightforward frequency measurements, and provides higher optical power per comb mode.

Applications

• Optical frequency standards.
• Absolute distance measurements
• Optical clockworks
• Low noise microwave synthesis
• Transfer of ultrastable timing signal and frequency standards
• High resolution spectroscopy
