Spectral shaper provides unprecedented control over 10,000 laser frequency comb lines.
The new technology, developed by researchers at heriotwattuni, draws inspiration from the astronomical spectrographs used on large telescopes.
By substituting a spatial light modulator for the camera typically used in spectrographs, the tech can control the spectrum of light across a wide bandwidth much more precisely than ever before.
The development could help astronomers detect Earth-sized exoplanets by making tiny stellar wobbles easier to measure.
