Abstract
A method and an apparatus for optical frequency measurement, using one or two frequency-stabilized mode-locked laser combs operating at different repetition rates to mix with a laser under measurement (LUM) respectively so as to generate two beat frequencies. The ordinal comb number where the beat frequency is generated is determined by measuring the ordinal comb number difference where the two beat frequencies are generated at different repetition rates so as to obtain the frequency of the LUM. The ordinal comb number difference is measured by using a dispersion device to offer an approximate ordinal comb number or by operating a mode-locked laser at three different repetition rates.
