We want to shift our focus today from talking about tech to the real force that propels Vescent forward – our extraordinary team!

Learn about our Fiber Frequency Comb, the FFC-100!

A rugged, compact, all-fiber frequency comb, designed and built to provide frequency stability transferable to the SWIR, NIR, visible, and RF spectra.

Fully stabilizable, with fractional Modified Allan Deviation below 10-22, the FFC-100 serves PNT, low-phase noise microwave, field sensing, and quantum security & computing applications in the lab and in the field.

Nathan Lemke and his students at the Bethel University AMO lab locked a laser to a two-photon transition of rubidium-85. They used the qNimble Quarto as a modulation source, lock-in amplifier, and PI loop filter servo to effect a Pound Drever Hall (PDH) type lock.

Vescent has been awarded a $1.25M Direct-to-Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the Air Force (AFRL, WPAFB) to develop a fully stabilized, multi-gigahertz-repetition rate optical frequency comb (OFC). 

Scott Davis, Vescent CEO will be a panelist on Quantum Computing at the Inside Quantum Technology Meeting in San Diego on Tuesday 10 May, 2022 at 10:45 am PDT.
