The simplicity of optical combs has not only increased how often scientists around the world make these extremely
precise frequency measurements but also greatly decreased the uncertainty in those measurements.
Not exact matches
Such
frequency combs enable
precise measurement of optical
frequencies as they allow a simple and direct comparison of optical
frequencies with the radio
frequency of an atomic clock.
Like a versatile ruler of light with tens or hundreds of thousands of closely spaced «tick marks,» an optical
frequency comb provides exquisitely
precise measurements of light.
Such a comb can form a bridge spanning the huge
frequency gap from microwaves to visible light: very
precise microwave
measurements can, with an optical comb, produce equally exact data about light.
