Optical frequency combs have changed science and technology as we know it. Responsible for measuring things like infrared and ultraviolet light, greenhouse gases, atomic clocks, and disease, optical frequency combs act as rulers that measure light. By combing through light, or frequencies, this technology can focus on specific frequencies that researchers can separate and study in limitless situations.
