Today, a research team has announced a major breakthrough in the field of microcomb-based parallel ranging. This method, which uses miniature optical microresonators to measure distance, could revolutionize the accuracy and speed with which we measure distances. The researchers have achieved this by introducing chaos into the microcomb-based system, which results in a more precise and stable range measurement. This breakthrough has the potential to significantly reduce the cost and time required for ranging applications, such as autonomous navigation and self-driving cars.
