Graphics card-based real-time processing for dual comb interferometry
Mathieu Walsh, James Kasic, Kevin C. Cossel, Jérôme Genest
Abstract
The technique of performing interferometry with two optical frequency combs is used by an increasing number of research groups and even for field deployed commercial applications. Real-time interferogram acquisition, correction, and averaging are, however, still not broadly accessible. This limits the deployment and wider adoption of this high resolution, high sensitivity technique. We herein introduce and describe a freely available correction software performing real-time processing on a graphics processing unit.
