Note: Femto-iCOMB has pioneered the development of the first integrated femtosecond laser-based frequency comb suitable for a wide range of optical and radio-frequency technologies, including sensing, LIDAR, and RADAR. Building on the achievements of the FEMTOCHIP project, which demonstrated a high-power femtosecond laser with low jitter on a chip, the EIC-funded femto-iCOMB project aims to advance this technology. Its objective is to create a fully stabilised femtosecond laser frequency comb (FSLFC) with high-frequency stability by integrating a femtosecond laser with on-chip generation and locking mechanisms. The FSLFC will be used to develop photonic microwave oscillators for diverse applications. Additionally, the project will conduct surveys to identify potential customers and their needs.
