New research may lead to highly precise, power-efficient light measurement tools, driving advancements in various technology fields.
Researchers have discovered a way to improve optical frequency combs to measure light waves with much higher precision than previously accomplished. This could lead to the development and improvement of devices that require such precision, like atomic clocks. The researchers showed that dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) can create chip-based optical frequency combs with enough output power for use in optical atomic clocks and other practical applications.
