Generation of high-frequency combs locked to atomic resonances by quantum phase modulation

A general mechanism for the generation of frequency combs referenced to atomic resonances is put forward. The mechanism is based on the periodic phase control of a quantum systemʼs dipole response. We develop an analytic description of the combʼs spectral structure, depending on both its atomic and...
