Abstract
This paper reports on progress at NPL in extending the range and utility of optical frequency combs. To enable measurements to be made at locations other than our own laboratory, a transportable comb system is being built whilst to extend the spectral range to cover the telecommunications bands we are also building a comb based on a Cr:forsterite laser.
