Standards of time and frequency at the outset of the 21st century

November 19, 2004
Author(s)
Scott Diddams, James C. Bergquist, Steven R. Jefferts, Christopher W. Oates
In this paper we review state-of-the-art atomic time and frequency standards and discuss some of their uses in science and technology. After fifty years of development, microwave atomic clocks based on cesium have achieved fractional uncertainties below 1

The era of coherent optical frequency references

September 29, 2004
Author(s)
Leo W. Hollberg, Christopher W. Oates, Scott Diddams, G Wilpers, A Bartels, C Hoyt, Zeb Barber
The past four years have shown a dramatic improvement in the performance of optical frequency references and in the methods by which they are calibrated and utilized. These revolutionary changes result from better stabilized lasers that probe narrow

Infrared frequency comb for frequency metrology based on a tunable repetition rate fiber laser

September 1, 2004
Author(s)
Brian Washburn, Scott Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury, Jeffrey W. Nicholson, Feder Kenneth, Paul S. Westbrook, C. G. Jorgensen
A phase-locked, all-fiber supercontinuum source based on an ultrashort fiber ring laser with a tunable repetition frequency is presented. The supercontinuum output comprises a frequency comb with a spacing set by the laser repetition rate and an offset set

Precision tests of femtosecond laser optical frequency synthesizers

May 17, 2004

Long-Sheng Ma, Lennart Robertsson, Massimo Zucco, Zhiyi Bi, Robert Windeler, A Bartels, G Wilpers, Christopher W. Oates, Leo W. Hollberg, Scott Diddams
We compare the accuracy of femtosecond laser optical frequency synthesizers that employ microstructured fibers with those that directly generate a broadband output. No limitation of either system is found at fractional frequency levels of 1x10 -18.

A phase locked, fiber laser-based frequency comb: limit on optical linewidth

May 16, 2004
Author(s)
Brian Washburn, Scott Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury, Jeffrey W. Nicholson, M. Yan, C. G. Jorgensen
A phase-locked fiber laser-based supercontinuum source is presented. The linewidth of a single line of the IR frequency comb produced by fiber laser-based supercontinuum source is less than or equal to}6 kHz.

Absolute frequency measurements with a stabilized near-infrared optical frequency comb from a Cr:forsterite laser

May 16, 2004
Author(s)
Kristan L. Corwin, I Thomann, Tasshi Dennis, R W. Fox, William C. Swann, E. A. Curtis, C. W. Oates, G Wilpers, A Bartels, Sarah L. Gilbert, Leo W. Hollberg, Scott Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury, Jeffrey W. Nicholson, M. Yan
A Cr:forsterite laser-based frequency comb is stabilized simultaneously to two NIST frequency references. Methane lines from 1315 nm - 1330 nm are measured with ±2.3 MHz uncertainty. The pressure shifts are also evaluated.
