Abstract

We report a stabilization of a femtosecond laser frequency comb (FLFC) to a high-finesse optical cavity by introducing a comb injection locked diode laser. In our method, single component of a FLFC is selected and amplified by a diode laser, and used for a stabilization of a FLFC. Thus, we don´t need to match the mode spacing between a femtosecond laser and a high-finesse optical cavity.
