Abstract

We have realized a comb system with a 30 GHz mode spacing, 62 % available wavelength coverage in the visible region, and nearly 40 dB spectral contrast by combining a robust erbium-doped-fiber-based femtosecond laser, mode filtering with newly designed optical cavities, and broadband-visible-range comb generation using a chirped periodically-poled LiNbO3 ridge waveguide. Furthermore, it is suggested that this system produces a spectrum with little change over 29 months. These features of our comb will contribute to fields requiring broad-mode-spacing combs, including astronomical observations, such as exoplanet exploration and the verification of the cosmic accelerating expansion.
