Optical frequency combs are specially designed lasers that act like rulers to accurately and rapidly measure specific frequencies of light. They can be used to detect and identify chemicals and pollutants with extremely high precision.Frequency combs would be ideal for remote sensors or portable spectrometers because they can enable accurate, real-time monitoring of multiple chemicals without complex moving parts or external equipment.But developing frequency combs with high enough bandwidth for these applications has been a challenge. Often, researchers must add bulky components that limit scalability and performance.Now, a team of…
