Laser Frequency Comb Boosts Solar Telescope Accuracy (with video)
MUNICH, Feb. 18, 2015 — Laser frequency combs can help telescopes achieve unprecedented accuracy in spectral measurements, and may someday aid detection of Earth-sized exoplanets. A team from three German institutions attached a laser frequency comb to the Kiepenheuer Institute for Solar Physics’ solar telescope in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Light from both the comb and the sun was coupled to a single optical fiber connected to a spectrograph. “This yields nearly perfect spatial mode
