Abstract
We have created a broad spectrum spanning more than an optical octave by la unching femtosecond pulses from a battery operated Cr:LiSAF laser into a ph otonic crystal fiber. Despite the massive broadening in the fiber, the comb structure of the spectrum is preserved, and this frequency comb is perfect ly suited for applications in optical frequency metrology.
