In the last 7 days there appeared only one new work on Kerr frequency combs online:

• Liu, J. et al. Ultralow-power photonic chip-based soliton frequency combs. arXiv:1805.00069 [physics] (2018).

And here is the [download id=”742″]. Below an article that nicely summarizes the history of clocks. Kerr frequency combs are not yet included but we will give it another five to ten years maybe.
