Abstract: Accurate knowledge of the uneven free spectral range of an optical microresonator, which provides direct insight into group velocity dispersion, is essential for understanding and controlling Kerr frequency comb dynamics. In this work, we present a simple and highly precise method formeasuring the free spectral range over a 5 THz bandwidth in silicon nitride microresonators, leveraging a wavemeter with 0.4 MHz resolution. Our fully fibered plug-and-play experimental setup enables the accurate extraction of resonance frequencies. By carefully analyzing the spectral position of each resonance, we measure both second- and third-order free spectral range expansion coefficients. This approach offers a robust and accessible tool for dispersion characterization in integrated photonic circuits, paving the way for next-generation of Kerr comb sources and quantum photonic technologies.

Squeezed dual-comb spectroscopy [32.73124984242397]
Squeezing the distribution of quantum noise to enhance measurement precision of either the amplitude or phase quadrature of an optical field leads to significant measurement improvements with continuous wave lasers. Interferometry with a second coherent state frequency comb yields mode-resolved spectroscopy of hydrogen sulfide gas with a signal-to-noise ratio nearly 3 dB beyond the shot noise limit. The quantum noise reduction leads to a two-fold quantum speedup in the determination of gas concentration, with impact for fast, broadband, and high SNR ratio measurements of multiple species in dynamic chemical environments.

We experimentally demonstrate a spectroscopic super-resolution method aimed at broadband light (10s to 100s of GHz) We study the paradigmatic problem of estimating a small separation between two incoherent spectral features of equal brightness, with a small number of photons per coherence time. The setup is based on an actively stabilized Mach-Zehnder-type interferometer with electro-optic time lenses and passive spectral dispersers implementing the inversion.
