A newly devised frequency comb provides a powerful light source, spanning frequencies of over 550 GHz with a total power of 5 mW. At the heart of the frequency combs are terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), which have the advantage of having both high power (in the form of THz radiation) and broadband capabilities (since the QCLs have gain over a wider frequency range). Combining these two elements to make a compact frequency comb generating long-wavelength light in the THz range can produce a useful source of radiation for a variety of applications in imaging, diagnostics, remote sensing and spectroscopy of extremely complex molecules.
