摘要：
The accuracy of the optical sideband generation of an optical frequency comb generator (OFCG) was examined. The fundamental light and its second harmonics from a YAG laser were used as input to the OFCG and as pump light to an optical parametric oscillator (OPO), respectively. The frequency between the +15th order OFCG sideband and the OPO signal light was compared with that between the -15th order sideband and the idler. The frequency shift of the generated sideband was estimated to be smaller than 6 x 10(-13) at a frequency span of 276 GHz.
