Optical Microcomb Device May Result in Improved Telecommunications, Sensors, Clocks

Good news!



"Their device converts laser light of a single frequency into an evenly spaced set of many distinct frequencies (a comb of frequencies). The resulting optical frequency microcomb is built from a single piece of silicon, in much the same way as computer chips. And its many colors can replace many separate lasers for data transmission."
