Title: Computational electro-optic frequency comb spectroscopy
Title: 计算电光频梳光谱学
Abstract: Computational techniques have gained significant traction in photonics, enabling the co-design of hardware and data processing algorithms to drastically simplify optical system architectures and improve their performance. However, their application in optical frequency comb spectroscopy remains considerably underexplored. In this work, we introduce a non-interferometric approach to frequency comb spectroscopy based on dynamically tailored electro-optic modulation. The core of our method is a reconfigurable electro-optic comb generator capable of producing a sequence of known comb spectra to interrogate a spectroscopic sample. Instead of recording spectrally resolved or interferometric data, our system captures a set of integrated optical power measurements--one per probe comb--from which the sample's spectral response is computationally reconstructed by solving an inverse problem. We present the theoretical foundations of this method, assess its limitations, and validate it through numerical simulations. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate the experimental reconstruction of several spectral signatures, including a molecular absorption line at 1545 nm. For these results, we use numerically computed spectra and experimentally measured power values, all acquired within 10 milliseconds. Finally, we discuss potential extensions and improvements of the method, as well as its integration into chip-scale spectroscopic systems.
