Precision spectroscopy contributed significantly to the development of quantum mechanics in its early stages. In the twenty-first century, precision spectroscopy has played an important role in several fields, including fundamental physics, precision measurement, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnostics. An optical frequency comb is indispensable in determining the frequency axis in precision spectroscopy and it is useful as a light source for spectroscopy. Dual-comb spectroscopy uses two frequency combs with slightly different repetition rates and has the potential to surpass conventional Fourier-transform infrared spectrometers. The resolution of dual-comb spectroscopy is limited by the frequency spacing of the comb components, that is, the repetition rate of the comb. We demonstrate dual-comb spectroscopy in the visible-wavelength region using wavelength-converted frequency combs from Er-doped fiber combs. The repetition rates of the combs are relatively low at 19.8 MHz, resulting in relatively high resolution in the dual-comb spectroscopy. The observed spectral shape in dual-comb spectroscopy agrees well with the fitting result based on the hyperfine structure of molecular iodine. The realized dual-comb spectroscopy using wavelength-converted Er-doped fiber combs is reliable (maintenance free) and applicable in other experiments at visible wavelengths.

Absolute line strength measurements of hydroperoxyl (HO2) radical in the OO-stretching (ν3) fundamental band have been performed by means of mid-infrared time-resolved dual-comb spectroscopy. By employing two sets of dual-comb spectrometers, high-resolution time-resolved spectra of HO2 and HCl, formed in the photolysis reaction system of Cl2/CH3OH/O2, could be, respectively, measured near 1123 and 3059 cm-1. With kinetic simulations, spectral analysis of both HO2 and HCl, as well as the accurate line strength of the HCl R(9) transition at 3059.

Dual-comb photoacoustic spectroscopy (DC-PAS) advances spectral measurements by offering high-sensitivity and compact size in a wavelength-independent manner. Here, we present a novel cantilever-enhanced DC-PAS scheme, employing a high-sensitivity fiber-optic acoustic sensor based on an optical cantilever and a non-resonant photoacoustic cell (PAC) featuring a flat-response characteristic. The dual comb is down-converted to the audio frequency range, and the resulting multiheterodyne sound waves from the photoacoustic effect, are mapped into the response frequency region of the optical cantilever microphone.

Mid-infrared (MIR) Kerr microcombs are of significant interest for portable dual-comb spectroscopy and precision molecular sensing due to strong molecular vibrational absorption in the MIR band. However, achieving a compact, octave-spanning MIR Kerr microcomb remains a challenge due to the lack of suitable MIR photonic materials for the core and cladding of integrated devices and appropriate MIR continuous-wave (CW) pump lasers. Here, we propose a novel slot concentric dual-ring (SCDR) microresonator based on an integrated chalcogenide glass chip, which offers excellent transmission performance and flexible dispersion engineering in the MIR band.

In measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) noninvasively using optical techniques, diffusing-wave spectroscopy is often combined with near-infrared spectroscopy to obtain a reliable blood flow index. Measuring the blood flow index at a determined depth remains the ultimate goal. In this study, we present a simple approach using dual-comb lasers where we simultaneously measure the absorption coefficient (μ), the reduced scattering coefficient (μ ), and dynamic properties.
