A decade of astrocombs: recent advances in frequency combs for astronomy [Invited]

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: A new regime of precision radial-velocity measurements in the search for Earth-like exoplanets is being facilitated by high-resolution spectrographs calibrated by laser frequency combs. Here we review recent advances in the development of astrocomb technology, and discuss the state of the field going forward.
