    …developing Hänsch’s idea for the optical frequency comb technique. In the technique, ultrashort pulses of laser light create a set of precisely spaced frequency peaks that resemble the evenly spaced teeth of a hair comb, thereby providing a practical way of obtaining optical frequency measurements to an accuracy of 15…
