Scanning frequency comb microscopy—A new method in scanning probe microscopy

A method for superimposing a microwave frequency comb (MFC) on the DC tunneling current in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is described in which a mode-locked laser is focused on the tunneling junction. The MFC is caused by optical rectification of the regular sequence of laser pulses due to t...
