MetrologyThe science of measurement; a system of measures
“When you can measure what you are speaking about, you
know something about it. But when you cannot measure
it, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.
It may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have
scarcely advanced to the stage of science.”
William Thomson, Lord Kelvin

Microcomb optical clock with Rb atoms. A pump laser excites
a chip-based microresonator (see micrograph at right) to
create a 33 GHz spacing comb. Two lines of the comb 108
modes apart are stabilized to Rb transitions. The output is the
33 GHz microcomb line spacing, with stability better than the
rubidium transitions by a factor of 108.
