Abstract

Optical frequency combs have emerged as a transformative technology at the intersection of ultrafast optics and frequency metrology, enabling precise links between optical and microwave frequencies. This advancement has revolutionized various fields of precision science and engineering. This paper reviews the historical development of optical frequency combs and the source technologies used for their generation. It also highlights precision-timing and synchronization applications enabled by optical frequency combs.
