Measurement of the impact of turbulence anisoplanatism on precision free-space optical time transfer

February 27, 2019

Author(s):

William C. Swann, Martha I. Bodine, Isaac H. Khader, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Esther Baumann, Laura C. Sinclair, Nathan R. Newbury

Future highly precise free-space optical clock networks will require optically-based two-way time and frequency transfer links. As these networks extend over...

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...

Broadband Noise Limit in the Photodetection of Ultralow Jitter Optical Pulses

November 14, 2014

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...
