ABSTRACT

We present our state-of-the-art version of a frequency comb for calibration of astronomical spectrographs. The mode spacing of the frequency comb can be designed to match the resolution of a spectrograph. Combined with its excellent accuracy and stability, the spectral coverage of more than 70% of the whole visible spectrum range makes the frequency comb an ideal calibration source. In addition, the new version introduces the automatic start-up function that brings convenience to the astronomers.
