Research Bits: June 27


Tunable soliton microcomb Researchers from the University of Rochester and CalTech say they have created the first microwave-rate soliton microcomb that can control the repetition rate at a high speed. Microcombs are frequency combs that can fit on a microchip, which will be useful in photonics. Solitons are solitary waves that keep their shape as they move at a constant speed. The team put an... » read more
