Accurately measuring frequencies of light is required for timekeeping. It’s also a critical component in many science experiments and technologies, from military defense to detecting air pollution, tests of fundamental physics to the detection of exoplanets. “There are few human enterprises that are both more fundamental and more important for technology,” says Curtis Menyuk, professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at UMBC.
