About

Light is the most precise way to measure things on Earth. From accurately tracking and estimating our Google Maps journeys to gaining insight into our bodies through biomedical imaging, being able to measure things precisely underpins almost everything we do.

Our team at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Science (COMBS) is using technology – called the optical frequency comb – to drive society-wide transformations in the fields of biomedical imaging, communications, precision measurement and astronomy.

Optical frequency combs are still generally confined to the most advanced science labs due to their size and complexity.

Our team at COMBS aims to transform these systems into light-powered chips the size of a fingernail.

We will do this through partnering with scientific and industrial end-users to create new approaches and solutions in the biomedical imaging, communications, precision measurement and astronomy.
