Future 'comb on a chip': Compact frequency comb could go places

Researchers have developed a compact laser frequency comb -- a class of extraordinarily precise tools for measuring frequencies of light. The new tiny comb is a step toward user-friendly and ultimately chip-based combs that could enable new applications in astronomical searches for Earth-like planets, high-capacity telecommunications, and possibly portable versions of the most advanced atomic clocks.
