Dual optical frequency combs with ultra-low relative phase jitters from 550 nm to 1020 nm for precision spectroscopy

Here, ultra-low relative phase jitters over a wide optical spectrum were achieved for dual Ti:Sapphire optical frequency combs. The two optical frequency combs were independently phase-locked to a Sr optical lattice clock laser delivered through a commercial optical fiber network. We confirmed that the relative phase jitters between the two combs integrated from 8.3 mHz to 200 kHz were below 1 rad, corresponding to a relative linewidth of below 8.3 mHz, over the entire wavelength of the optical frequency combs ranging from 550 nm to 1020 nm. Our work paves the way for ultrahigh-precision dual-comb spectroscopy covering a wide optical spectral range with a simple setup, and provides an absolute optical frequency reference with great stability over a wide range of wavelengths.
