Temporal Laser cavity-Solitons for micro-resonator based optical frequency combs
Precise timing has led to many advances, such as GPS and the Internet, which depend critically on frequency and time standards. The currently limited accuracy, however, is hindering the progress towards societal-changing technologies such as telecommunications beyond 5G or precise earth mapping. Optical atomic clocks based on optical frequency combs – Nobel prize in Physics, 2005 to Hall and Hänsch – are the only technology capable of providing timing accurate up to 10^(-18) seconds, answering such a demand of time precision. The realisation of such clocks in portable scale is expected to change the technology landscape. Micro-combs – based on miniature optical resonators – have galvanized…
