Abstract
The limit of optical frequency comb (OFC) generation (i.e., the limit of frequency difference measurement) due to the material dispersion in the EO crystal is experimentally studied. By using a modified monolit hic OFC generator, we observed the OFC spectrum, and confirmed that th e envelope of the OFC around 780 nm extended to a span as wide as 16 m n (or 7.6 THz) reaching the limit of the OFC generation, We also propo sed a method of stabilizing the Fabry-Perot cavity for the monolithic OFC generator.
