Descripción
The laser frequency comb, with its extreme precision, opens a new window
for high precision spectroscopy for current facilities, as well as for
the ELT's. We report on the latest performance of the laser frequency
comb obtained in combination with the HARPS spectrograph, which allowed
calibration with cm/sec repeatability. The laser frequency comb system
developed is described. Details of its laboratory set-up,
characterization and integration with HARPS are shown. The results of
the recent test campaigns are presented, showing excellent performance
in terms of repeatability as well as wavelength coverage. Preliminary on
sky data and next activities to integrate such a system in HARPS are
presented.
