Microcombs can help us discover planets outside our solar system and track new diseases in our bodies. But current microcombs are inefficient and unable to reach their full potential. Now, researchers have made microcombs ten times more efficient. Their breakthrough opens the way to new discoveries in space and healthcare and paves the way for high-performance lasers in a range of other technologies.

Since virtually all optical measurements are connected to light frequencies, the microcomb has a multitude of applications -- from calibrating instruments that measure signals at light-year distances in space in the search for exoplanets, to identifying and keeping track of our health via the air we exhale.Up to now, a fundamental problem with microcombs has been that their efficiency was too weak to produce a wider technological impact on society.
