A group of scientists from the National Quantum Laboratory and the Russian Quantum Center together with
A classical laser emits one wavelength,while the optical comb consists of a set of synchronously oscillating optical lines. Their use could revolutionize many areas where lasers are currently used:
- in medicine,
- healthcare,
- security,
- telecommunications
- smart cities.
Sharing integralmicrocavities and semiconductor laser diodes was a breakthrough that allowed the development of miniature devices for generating optical combs, the size of a fingertip and powered by a simple battery.
Results can make it much easierproduction of photonic devices on a chip, which will allow scaling the production of optical combs in a volume comparable to the microcircuits of modern microelectronics.
The scientists intend to develop commercial-grade, off-the-shelf products based on fully integrated frequency comb generators.
