Towards phase-stabilized Fourier domain mode-locked frequency combs

Fourier domain mode-locked lasers provide coherent, wavelength swept light useful for imaging applications, but the phase relation between frequencies is not understood. Here, experimental and numerical data is presented that suggests a fixed phase relation and comb-like structure of the sweep.
