Frequency comb sensing and imaging
Optical frequency combs have revolutionized time and frequency metrology and enabled powerful techniques such as dual-comb interferometry. Using two combs with slightly different line-spacings, these motion-free interferometers achieve exceptional accuracy, speed and resolution, enabling compact integrated devices and advanced applications in spectroscopy, sensing and imaging.
About the Speaker
Nathalie Picqué is Director at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy and Professor of Physics at the Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. Previously, she was a research group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (Garching, Germany) and before that a researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Orsay (France). She received her doctoral degree in physics from the University Paris-Saclay (France) in 1998. She and her team explore new insights in optical and molecular fundamental physics with advancing tools of laser science. Nathalie Picqué is a pioneer in the development and application of techniques of interferometry over broad spectral bandwidths with optical frequency combs. An Optica Fellow, N. Picqué is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2024 William F. Meggers Award of Optica.
