Although the end of the roadmap may be getting closer, it is just the start of a new era when we will leverage the billions of dollars that have…

MINIATURIZED SOURCES OF ULTRASHORT OPTICAL PULSES AND HIGH SPECTRAL PURITY MICROWAVE SIGNALS A train of ultrashort optical pulses is comprised of a large number of laser tones oscillating synchronously. This equally-spaced array of frequencies, called an optical frequency comb, has found applications in the generation of high…
