The invention discloses a method and a
system for generating an astronomical spectrum calibration
light source. According to the invention, double optical frequency combs with similar repetition frequencies are adopted, most output light of one
optical frequency comb passes through an FP cavity to obtain pulses with high repetition frequencies, the pulses and most output light of the other
optical frequency comb are collinearly interfered and incident to a balanced photoelectric
detector, and data are collected and subjected to
Fourier transform to be used as a
signal spectrum; a small part of output light of the two optical frequency combs is subjected to beam combination and interference, is received by a photoelectric
detector, is subjected to
data acquisition, is subjected to
Fourier transform and then serves as a reference spectrum, a spectrum
transmission function of the FP cavity is obtained, a calibration
light source filtered by the FP cavity is corrected, and a calibration
light source of the astronomical
spectrometer is obtained; the method has the advantages of wide spectrum coverage, ultrahigh precision and long-term stability; the FP cavity does not need to be absolutely locked, and only the frequency change trend needs to be measured; high-stability output is obtained through a low-cost and low-stability device, and the actual
spectral response of the FP cavity is accurately solved.
