01.12.2009 | Synchronized Flying in Space Makes for Good Detection
Researchers from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) are using femtosecond laser combs and optical imaging features on multiple spacecraft with the idea of creating one large detector that will enhance Earth observation and exploration of the universe. A Technology News about our ESA funded project was published in the December issue of the Photonics Spectra.

29.11.2009 | Powerful New Tool for Fourier Transform Spectroscopy
A team of scientists around Professor Hänsch and Doctor Picqué at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics demonstrated a powerful new tool for measuring ultrasensitive, broadband, high-resolution spectra of molecular fingerprint in tens of microseconds. The new technique is based on the combination of Fourier transform spectroscopy and cavity ring-down spectroscopy with the frequency comb technology.

20.04.2009 | Helmholtz Award for Menlo`s CTO
For the development of a monolithic, chip based optical frequency comb, Tobias Kippenberg, Ronald Holzwarth and Pascal Del`Haye will receive the Helmholtz Award 2009 by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). This new type of frequency comb could be used in the future for optical frequency measurements and also for designing clocks of extremely high precision, or in optical telecommunications.

04.12.2008 | Frequency Comb on Wheels
Our FC1500 optical frequency synthesizer formed the basis of the NPL mobile frequency comb, which was built by a team of researchers from the National Physics Laboratory and the Heriot-Watt University. They demonstrated that the transportable comb has a similar stability to the Ti:sapphire comb when the same RF reference is used.
