A high-finesse cavity, in which all the resonant equidistant modes of a laser frequency comb are simultaneously injected, produces a dramatic increase of the interaction length of the light-field and intracavity-matter. The resulting ultrasensitive broad-spectral-bandwidth transmission spectrum is measured in real-time with another comb. This picture represents a part of the high-finesse passive resonator similar to the one that has been used to enhance the sensitivity of frequency comb based Fourier transform spectroscopy. The green light coupled to the resonator comes from a frequency-doubled Ytterbium-doped fiber frequency comb. While the letter (doi:10.1038/ nphoton.2009.217) published in Nature Photonics reports spectroscopic results around the fundamental infrared 1040-nm wavelength of the Ytterbium femtosecond lasers, the implementation of the same kind of experiments around the Yb-laser second harmonic, where interesting rovibronic molecular transitions are lying, is underway.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
