Aston University is heading up a European collaboration exploring applications of new optical frequency technology in areas including telecomms and the food industry. Based at the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AIPT) the project, which has received ￡1.6m of EPSRC funding, aims to revolutionise spectroscopy by driving the development of a new family of light sources based on Optical Frequency Comb (OFC) technology: laser sources which act as ultra-precise optical rulers for measuring exact frequencies of light.
