摘要
Dual-comb spectroscopy(DCS) is a powerful tool in molecular spectroscopy benefiting from the advantages of high resolution and short measurement time. The recently developed soliton microcomb(SMC) can potentially transfer the dual-comb method to an on-chip platform. In this paper, we demonstrate DCS using two frequency scanning SMCs, termed scanning dual-microcomb spectroscopy(SDMCS). The two SMCs are generated by an auxiliary-assisted thermal balance scheme, and the pump laser frequency sweeps over one free spectral range of the microresonator(~49 GHz) using a feedback control system. The proposed SDMCS has a spectral resolution of 12.5 MHz, which is determined by the minimum sweeping step of the pump laser. Using this SDMCS system, we perform three types of gas molecule absorption spectroscopy recognition and gas concentration detection.This study paves the way for integrated DCS with a high signal-to-noise ratio, high spectral resolution, and fast acquisition rate.
