Fig. 1.  (Color online) Frequency comb and its applications in spectroscopy and nonlinear dynamics of materials. fCEO and frep denote the carrier envelope offset frequency and repetition frequency of a frequency comb, respectively. fb1 and fb2 are the two repetition frequencies of two combs and the difference between the two is Δf (= fb2fb1) which is the line spacing of the down-converted dual-comb spectrum.
