The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York received a $316,757 Project Grant award from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to conduct research analyzing high frequency noise of microresonator-based Kerr frequency combs. The grant was awarded on September 15, 2022 under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) to maintain Air Force technological superiority through foundational research in scientific areas relevant to its needs. The research aims to prevent technological surprise and create it for adversaries by maintaining a strong Air Force research infrastructure. The one-year project period will analyze microresonator devices that generate optical frequency combs through a nonlinear Kerr effect, with the goal of advancing Air Force capabilities in precision timing, spectroscopy, and communications technologies.
