Zusammenfassung

This paper describes recent advances in the design and control of femtosecond laser combs for their use in optical clocks and in the synthesis of low-noise microwave and optical signals. The authors present a compact and technically simple femtosecond laser that directly emits a broad continuum and shows that it can operate continuously on the timescale of days as the phase-coherent "clockwork" of an optical clock. They further demonstrate phase locking of an octave-spanning frequency comb to an optical frequency standard at the millihertz level. As verified through heterodyne measurements with an independent optical frequency standard, this provides a network of narrow optical modes with linewidths at the level of ~ 150 Hz, presently limited by measurement noise. Finally, they summarize their progress in using the femtosecond laser comb to transfer the stability and low phase-noise optical oscillators to the microwave domain.
