Abstract
The high-repetition-rate dual-microcomb interferometry, characterized by its high precision, rapid measurement speed, and ease of integration, shows significant promise in applications such as precision spectroscopy and high-speed precision ranging. As dual-microcomb interferometry usually requires a specific difference in repetition rates, tuning the repetition rate of the microcomb is crucial for integrating dual-microcomb sources and enhancing the measurement performance, including the precision and the update rate. This work demonstrates a coherent dual-microcomb system driven by a single continuous-wave fiber laser at 1560.49 nm. The system employs a hybrid tuning method combing single-sideband (SSB) modulation for precision pump frequency control (enabling continuous repetition rate tuning across a 4.34 MHz range) with thermal control for coarse tuning. The linear dependence…
