NIST Optical Synthesizer Testbed

Caption

Composite photo of the testbed for NIST's chip-based optical frequency synthesizer. A key component, NIST's frequency comb on a chip, is mounted in the set-up on the lower left. A sample output of the programmable synthesizer, an optical frequency spectrum, is shown at middle-right. The synthesizer components provide for further integration into easily portable packages.
