ABSTRACT:
For reducing power fluctuations of spectral lines of a comb generator having an annularly closed waveguide, a coupler for coupling light from a separate light source into the waveguide and out of the waveguide and also a sideband modulator, the light circulating in the waveguide can be either separately modulated or the sideband modulator can be operated to have only sidebands of the same operational sign of a frequency shift or with an amount being selected according to a particular arrangement, or can have both positive and negative frequency shifts with the amount being selected by a different formula or the length of the annularly closed waveguide can be dimensioned so that the size of the round-trip time of the light circulating in the waveguide is longer than the defined coherent time of the reference laser light. It is also possible to incorporate various combinations of these alternative ways of reducing the power fluctation.
