The invention discloses a
broadband FP (Fabry-Perot) cavity transmission
spectral line calibration method and a calibration
spectral line generation device, and belongs to the field of astronomical spectrum calibration. According to the invention, the
laser frequency comb is utilized to carry out precise calibration on the FP cavity, the precision is an Hz magnitude, and the calibration precision of the
radial velocity of the FP cavity can reach m / s; by tuning
laser frequency comb parameters, all transmission peaks are supplemented, and
broadband coverage is achieved; the high precision requirement for FP cavity
coating is avoided, the accuracy of transmission spectral lines is ensured, frequent calibration is performed on the FP cavity, and the problem that the FP cavity cannot provide long-term stability of frequency is solved; a low-repetition-frequency
picosecond white light source is used, the spectrum is wide and flat, the spectrum is not sensitive to the position of a transmission peak of an FP cavity, and the light enters a calibrated FP cavity array to generate a calibration
spectral line with a high
signal-to-
noise ratio and
multiple frequency intervals, so that the calibration precision of the astronomical
spectrometer reaches the cm / s-level
radial velocity calibration precision. The method is applied to the calibration of the astronomical
spectrometer for extrasolar
planet search.
