Multiscale optical frequency combs: advanced technologies and applications

Project description

Training early-stage researchers in new optical frequency comb techniques

Photonic technologies can be advanced towards a wide range of applications, from spectroscopy to light detection and ranging, or LIDAR, systems used to determine an object’s position. The growth of the photonics market hinges on innovative solutions and qualified experts with multidisciplinary skills, not only in photonics but in micro- and nanotechnologies. Addressing this need, the EU-funded MOCCA project will provide four early-stage researchers (ESRs) a world-class training programme that will lift them to the level of next-generation leaders in the field of photonics. The programme will consist of hands-on research training, non-academic placements and advanced inter/multidisciplinary/intersectoral training. The ESRs will be trained to develop a new generation of optical frequency comb techniques.
