Researchers Use Frequency Comb to Demonstrate Femtosecond-Level Optical Clock Synchronization

An international team of researchers, led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, has advanced their work with synchronizing a remote optical clock with a master clock by exploring what happens to time signals that need to travel through 12 kilometers (km) of turbulent air, which is known to distort optical signals.

Physicists Control Polarization of Light

Spatial light modulators that serve as a base for LCDs can be manufactured using the results of this case. They are assembled so that all of the pixels can switch the light with some speed, making them weaker or brighter. The rotation of the polarization of light performs the switching.
