초록

모드 잠금 레이저는 주기성을 가지고 짧은 시간 동안 레이저 출력이 펄스로 동작한다. 그러나 시간-주파수 영역에서 모드 잠금된 펄스 레이 저의 펄스 반복률의 주기성은 푸리에(Fourier) 변환으로 일정한 주파수 간격을 가진 광 주파수 빗과 같이 이해된다. 이때 광 주파수 빗의 각 주파수 성분은 연속적으로 발진하는 수십만 개의 단일 주파수 성분을 가진 continuous-wave (CW) 레이저들과 같다. 광 주파수 빗은 약 20년 전에 개발되어 세계에서 가장 정밀한 원자 시계의 개발을 가능케하고 안정된 광 주파수를 정밀하게 전송하는 데에 사용되었으며, 다양한 응용 연구로도 발전했다. 본 논문에서는 광 주파수 빗의 단일 주파수 구성 요소를 선택적으로 추출하고, 광 빗의 주파수 구성 요소를 제어하는 연구를 소개한다. 또한 광 주파수 빗의 개념과 원리를 해설함으로써 시간-주파수 도메인에서 빛의 특성을 이해하고, 광 주파수 빗을 활용한 다양한 응용 연구를 개발하는 데 도움을 주고자 한다.

Abstract

Mode-locked pulse lasers have a temporal periodicity up over a short period of time. However, in the time-frequency domain, a pulsed laser with temporal periodicity is described as an optical frequency comb with constant frequency spacing. Each frequency component of the optical frequency comb in the frequency domain is then a continuous-wave (CW) laser with hundreds of thousands of single-frequency-component CW lasers in the time domain. This optical frequency comb was developed approximately 20 years ago, enabling the development of the world’s most precise atomic clocks and precise transmission of highly stable optical frequency references. In this review, research on the selective extraction of the singlefrequency components of optical frequency combs and the control of the frequency components of optical combs is introduced. By presenting the concepts and principles of these optical frequency combs in a tutorial format, we hope to help readers understand the properties of light in the timefrequency domain and to develop various applications using optical frequency combs.
