High Resolution Measurement with Asynchronous Optical Sampling

Abstract

Abstract Asynchronous optical sampling is an emerging new measuring technique that exploits the frequency resolution, frequency accuracy of frequency combs for ultrahighresolution, high-sensitivity broadband spectroscopy and time-offset measurement. This review describes principles and applications of Asynchronous optical sampling and summarizes the current state of the art. As laser technology progresses, Asynchronous optical sampling will continue to mature and could surpass conventional frequency and time measurement technology for a wide range of laboratory and field applications.
