Photonics Focus Magazine Vol. 4 Issue 2

March/April 2023 | Vol. 4 | Issue 2

This issue of Photonics Focus explores modern metrology, from the extraordinary precision of next-generation optical clocks, to the exquisitely sensitive mechanisms that allow scientists to detect gravitational waves originating from the collision of black holes. We look, too, at semiconductor lithography that has etch patterns so incredibly small fabricators must rely on advanced metrology instruments to find hidden defects.
