About micro-Comb
This project complements Nanotera projects IrSens and MIXSEL by targeting multi-wavelength sources not based on semiconductor based materials, but rather by nonlinear frequency conversion instead, which offers a significant reduction of cost and complexity and moreover enables generation of frequency combs. This project builds on the discovery of the principle investigator in 2007, who has demonstrated an entirely new way of generating combs, without making use of mode locked lasers. spirulina benefits This principle is based on nonlinear light conversion in a high Q resonator. Building on the discovery of these new optical frequency comb generators, the advance which we seek to achieve is to develop an entirely integrated, octave spanning chip-scale frequency comb for use in high capacity telecommunications and middle infrared sensing.
