Frequency Comb Design Broadens Bandwidth and Uses Less Power
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Jan. 31, 2025 — A novel integrated design for electro-optic (EO) frequency combs expands the bandwidth of the comb and significantly reduces its microwave power requirements, compared to previous designs. The integrated EO frequency comb could benefit robotics, environmental sensing, spectroscopy, astronomy, and other fields that require precise, efficient measurement of light. An international team comprising researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the
