Abstract: The discovery of optical frequency combs (OFCs) has revolutionised science and technology by bridging electronics and photonics, driving major advances in precision measurements, atomic clocks, spectroscopy, telecommunications, and astronomy. However, current OFC systems still require further development to enable broader adoption in fields such as communication, aerospace, defence, and healthcare. There is a growing need for compact, portable OFCs that deliver high output power, robust self-referencing, and application-specific spectral coverage. On the conceptual side, progress toward such systems is hindered by an incomplete understanding of the fundamental principles governing OFC generation in emerging devices and materials, as well as evolving insights into the interplay between soliton and mode-locking effects. This roadmap presents the vision of a diverse group of academic and industry researchers and educators from Europe, along with their collaborators, on the current status and future directions of OFC science. It highlights a multidisciplinary approach that integrates novel physics, engineering innovation, and advanced researcher training. Topics include advances in soliton science as it relates to OFCs, the extension of OFC spectra into the visible and mid-infrared ranges, metrology applications and noise performance of integrated OFC sources, new fibre-based OFC modules, OFC lasers and OFC applications in astronomy.

Netflix will buy some of Warner Bros. Discovery’s most valuable media portfolio for nearly $83 billion in a cash-stock deal, the two companies said Friday.
The streaming giant will acquire some of WBD’s most valuable media properties,
including its film and TV studio,
HBO and HBO Max.
WBD’s cable networks, including the news giant CNN, are to be spun off in advance of the deal.
-- That plan was announced in June.

Okay, getting an early start on preparing for the JoCo cruise in the beginning of 2027 (assuming the world is still here). The overall setup will be the RetroTINK 4K (already owned), a nice 4K OLED portable monitor, and a sturdy MiSTer. I'm excited to see if the RetroTINK 4K works its magic on the portable monitor...even more excited to see if I can get back into running _Castlevania: Symphony of the Night_. We'll see.
