How Can Quantum Interference Control Stabilize a Frequency Comb's Carrier Phase?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on achieving carrier phase stabilization for frequency combs using quantum interference. Key methods mentioned include mu/2mu referencing and the inverse technique from Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 147403 (2004). Participants recommend consulting the book "Femtosecond Optical Frequency Comb Technology" by Jun Ye and Steve Cundiff for detailed derivations and insights into current generation through quantum interference.

Hi all, I am a student and I am trying to understand how to achieve carrier phase stabilization for frequency comb using quantum interference. I found out that the interference leads to generation of current but I can't seem to find the derivation of the equations for the current generation. Hopefully someone can refer me to a book that gives the details of the phenomena.

Thanks in advance!

This is a bit vague. What exactly do you intend to use?

One could use things like mu/2mu referencing (see citation in Optics Letters, Vol. 30, Issue 7, pp. 735-737 (2005)) or similar methods (e.g. the "inverse" of Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 147403 (2004)). Generally speaking, almost always some interference between probability amplitudes for single-photon and two photon processes is used as it is phase sensitive.

If you want a book, the one on femtosecond optical frequency comb technology by Jun Ye and Steve Cundiff might be helpful.
