$341,000.00
Fiber-Integrated Frequency Comb Using Phase-Change Nanostructured Metamaterials
FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-27
Summary
The Project aims to develop a prototype of a robust and compact portable fiber-integrated frequency comb using novel metamaterials technology. The development will take place at the University of Alberta, where fiber-based ultrafast laser systems and fiber-integrated metamaterials have already been successfully designed and fabricated. The design of the comb system will be done in collaboration with the NRC Metrology Research Centre. The University of Alberta collaborators will design, fabricate, and test components that will serve the comb system design, integrate them into a complete system, and test the system collaboratively with the NRC team. It is expected that the comb will be deployed using both the NRC’s lab-based and transportable 88Sr+ optical clocks.
