Abstract :
Dual, coherent frequency combs are used to measure the spectrum of an incoherent, quasi-thermal source through Fourier spectroscopy. The source spectrum is acquired over 1 THz bandwidth with an absolute frequency accuracy set by the combs. Work of the U.S. government, not subject to copyright.
