In a proof-of-principle experiment in the fall of 1998, we used a commercial mode-locked femtosecond laser with a comb spanning 70 THz to compare the frequency of a blue dye laser directly with the microwave frequency of a commercial cesium atomic clock in our own laboratory.
-
Fellow Allister Fergusson we used the comb of regularly spaced longitudinal modes of a mode-locked sub-picosecond dye laser to measure some fine structure intervals of atomic sodium.
-
We create this frequency comb by means of a mode-locked laser that emits a train of very short pulses of light.

Advanced control of the newly-developed and proprietarily-constructed GaN-based mode-locked semiconductor laser and semiconductor optical amplifier have enabled peak output power in excess of 100 watts to be achieved, which is more than a hundred times the world's highest output value for conventional blue-violet pulse semiconductor lasers.
