Abstract
We demonstrate a precision clock-offset measurement via a 100 km dispersion-compensated fiber link. For transferring highly stable optical frequency and realizing high mutual coherence, each comb was fully phase-locked to semiconductor external cavity lasers which are stabilized to a high-finesse cavity. We also investigated the transmission time bias caused by the different DWDM channels used in bi-directional transmission and corrected it in the final measurement results. The clock-offset was 72 fs (standard deviation) over 100 independent measurements during 10 consecutive hours.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
