BACKGROUND The generation and control of coherent electromagnetic waves, such as
those provided by electronic oscillators in the radio frequency domain or lasers in the optical …

Optical atomic clocks represent the state of the art in the frontier of modern measurement
science. In this article a detailed review on the development of optical atomic clocks that are …

When solids are exposed to intense laser fields whose forces are comparable to the binding
forces of valence electrons in crystals, nonlinear optics of solids advances to the …

This chapter describes the discovery and stable generation of temporal dissipative Kerr
solitons in continuous‐wave (CW) laser‐driven optical microresonators. The experimental …

Silicon photonics enables wafer-scale integration of optical functionalities on chip. Silicon-
based laser frequency combs can provide integrated sources of mutually coherent laser …

Optical frequency combs were developed nearly two decades ago to support the world's
most precise atomic clocks. Acting as precision optical synthesizers, frequency combs …

The quest towards the integration of ultra-fast, high-precision optical clocks is reflected in the
large number of high-impact papers on the topic published in the last few years. This interest …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Nonlinear photonic chips can generate and process signals all-optically with far superior
performance to that possible electronically—particularly with respect to speed. Although …

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors enable precision sensing of an object in 3D.
LiDAR technology is widely used in metrology, environment monitoring, archaeology, and …
