Femtosecond Laser

Frequency Metrology Using Femtosecond lasers

We are developing femtosecond-laser frequency combs that will allow us to accurately count oscillations of visible light (with frequencies over 1015 Hz). Using compact, rugged fiber-based lasers and photonic crystal fibers, this apparatus will be essential for developing the next generation of all-optical atomic clocks.
