Abstract

We present a new approach for dual-comb optical parametric oscillators. The system uses a single-cavity dual-comb laser that pumps a single OPO cavity. The pump has 1.7 W average power per comb at 1054 nm with 80-MHz repetition rate. The OPO ring cavity is pumped in opposite directions by the two pumps. The idler beams have >280 mW average power at 3500 nm with 145-nm bandwidth. We characterize the signal noise and find shot-noise-limited performance (RIN below -155 dBc/Hz at >1 MHz frequencies). Our approach represents a low-noise solution to dual-comb spectroscopy across the short-wave infrared and mid-infrared spectral regions.
