Nearly 25 years ago, Optical Frequency Combs (OFCs) have revolutionized practically from one day to the next the metrology of optical frequencies. Before that, only a few labs in the world could connect the optical (~10 15 Hz) and the microwave (~10 10 Hz) domains, at the price of the complex operation of a chain of multiple non-linear frequency conversions. In contrast, OFCs provided a tabletop instrument, compact, reliable and operable by a single scientist. Unmistakeable sign: only a few years had passed before pioneering inventors of OFCs Theodor Hänsch and John Hall were awarded the 2005 Nobel prize in Physics, together with Roy Glauber.
