Disclosed herein is an optical frequency comb generator for a distributed acoustic anomaly detection system. The system can include a continuous wave frequency modulated laser source configured to generate a laser signal. The system can include an acousto-optical modulator configured to modulate the laser signal by altering an amplitude and / or frequency of the laser signal based on an RF drive signal applied to the AOM, and to output an optical pulse with multiple frequency sidebands based on the modulation.

The different frequency combs span different frequency bands, but at least partially overlap in frequency with an adjacent comb in a region of overlap. A spectral filter produces a filtered output that has at least one pair of tones from the region of overlap, the pair of tones comprising one tone from each of two adjacent combs. Feedback control based on the filtered output is applied to adjust the light entering the comb generator such that the frequencies and phases of the pair of tones from the region of overlap are aligned. In this way, the multiple different overlapping combs are stitched together to form a single seamless comb spanning a broader frequency range.
