Low-Loss Reciprocal Optical Terminals for Two-Way Time-Frequency Transfer

November 22, 2017

Author(s):

William C. Swann, Laura C. Sinclair, Isaac H. Khader, Nathan R. Newbury, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Hugo Bergeron

Optical two-way time-frequency transfer (O-TWTFT) over atmospheric free-space paths requires low- loss, single-mode, bi-directional and fully reciprocal...

Femtosecond synchronization of optical clocks over free-space links

December 11, 2015

Author(s):

Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Laura C. Sinclair, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Esther Baumann, Hugo Bergeron, Michael A. Cermak, Nathan R. Newbury

The use of optical clocks/oscillators in future ultra-precise navigation, gravitational sensing, and relativity experiments will require time comparison and...

A compact optically coherent fiber frequency comb

August 18, 2015

Author(s):

Laura C. Sinclair, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Lindsay I. Sonderhouse, William C. Swann, Isaac H. Khader, Esther Baumann, Nathan R. Newbury, Ian R. Coddington

We describe design and operation of a robust self-referenced, optically coherent frequency comb. The system robustness is derived from a combination of an...

Author(s):

Franklyn J. Quinlan, W. Sun, Tara M. Fortier, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Yang Fu, Scott A. Diddams, Joe Campbell

Applications with optical atomic clocks and precision timing often require the transfer of optical frequency references to the electrical domain with extremely...

Comb-calibrated laser ranging for three-dimensional surface profiling with micrometer-level precision at a distance

October 06, 2014

Author(s):

Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, William C. Swann, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury

Non-contact surface mapping at a distance is interesting in diverse applications including industrial metrology, manufacturing, forensics, and artifact...
