CONNECT researchers Aleksandra Kaszubowska Anandarajah in Trinity College Dublin, and Prince Anandarajah and Prajwal D. Lakshmijayasimha in Dublin City University have published a paper in Nature Communications which reports the successful combination of two Optical Frequency Combs.
The breakthrough is significant as it will enable chip-scale microcombs with record-low energy consumption. These can be used in several areas including optical metrology, high-frequency electrical signal generation, optical atomic clocks, and high-precision spectroscopy.
