Kick-off meeting in Hamburg

Kick-Off Meeting for femto-iCOMB Project held in Hamburg

Hamburg, 14th May 2024 — The femto-iCOMB project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing optical and Radio-Frequency (RF) technologies, held its kick-off meeting in Hamburg on 13th and 14th May 2024. This crucial gathering marked the official commencement of the project and provided an invaluable opportunity for the team to align on work packages and necessary tasks.

Key Highlights:

• Alignment on Work Packages: The meeting was instrumental in ensuring that all team members are on the same page regarding the various work packages and their respective responsibilities. Detailed discussions were held to outline the scope, timelines, and deliverables for each package.
• Task Delegation: Specific tasks necessary for the project's progression were delegated to team members, ensuring a clear understanding of individual roles and expectations. This structured approach aims to enhance efficiency and foster seamless collaboration.
• In-Person Collaboration: The face-to-face interactions facilitated effective brainstorming and problem-solving sessions as it allowed for direct communication, fostering stronger team bonds and clearer understanding.

Project Overview: femto-iCOMB is focused on creating a fully stabilized femtosecond laser frequency comb (FSLFC) with extremely high frequency stability. The resulting technology will support the development of photonic microwave oscillators, enhancing a wide array of applications.

Conclusion and Next Steps: The successful kick-off meeting in Hamburg has set a solid foundation for the femto-iCOMB project. With a clear roadmap and committed team, femto-iCOMB is well-positioned to achieve its mission of transforming optical and RF technologies. Following the kick-off meeting, the femto-iCOMB team will commence the initial phases of development, adhering to the outlined work packages.
