Abstract

"\begin{wrapfigure}{p}{0pt} \includegraphics[scale=0.24]{Graph01.eps} \end{wrapfigure} We demonstrate a new approach to mid-infrared dual-comb spectroscopy. It opens up new opportunities for accurate real-time spectroscopic diagnostics and it significantly simplifies the technique of dual-comb spectroscopy. Two mid-infrared frequency combs of slightly different repetition frequencies and moderate, but rapidly tunable, spectral span are generated in the 2800-3200 cm$^{-1}$ region. The generators rely on electro-optic modulators, nonlinear fibers$\footnote{G. Millot, S. Pitois, M. Yan, T. Hovannysyan, A. Bendahmane, T.W. H\""{a}nsch, N. Picqu\'{e}, Frequency-agile dual-comb spectroscopy, Nature Photonics 10, 27-30 (2016).}$ for spectral broadening and difference frequency generation and do not involve mode-locked lasers. Flat-top frequency combs span up to 10 cm$^{-1}$ with a comb line spacing of 100 MHz (3$\times$10$^{-3}$ cm$^{-1}$). The performance of the spectrometer without any phase-lock electronics or correction scheme is illustrated with spectra showing resolved comb lines and Doppler-limited spectra of methane. High precision on the spectroscopic parameter (line positions and intensities) determination is demonstrated for spectra measured on a millisecond time scale and it is validated with comparison with literature data."
