Microcombs can help us discover planets outside our solar system and track new diseases in our bodies. But current microcombs are inefficient and unable to reach their full potential. Now, researchers ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240257 , discusses generation of avoided-mode-crossing soliton microcombs. Optical frequency combs refer to spectra composed of a ...

New silicon nitride microresonator cuts timing jitter in soliton microcombs, boosting precision for lidar, quantum metrology, and ultrafast communications. (Nanowerk News) Laser frequency combs are ...

Chip-based optical frequency combs, or microcombs, have concurrently transformed the architecture of integrated photonics. These microcombs are indispensable for the co-integration of microwave and ...

Optical microcombs can help with the discovery of planets outside the solar system or track new diseases in the human body. But current microcombs are inefficient and unable to reach their full ...

Microcombs offer a compact, energy-efficient way to boost data transmission speeds beyond one petabit per second, helping solve global bandwidth bottlenecks. (Nanowerk News) A newly-published paper ...

Kerry Vahala and collaborators from UC Santa Barbara have found a unique solution to an optics problem. When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently ...

A team of Columbia University engineers may have stumbled on a key to cooling the AI industry's energy fever. While trying to boost the power of chips for LiDAR—laser-based sensing used most notably ...
