Specifically, the Student’s t-distribution is introduced as a new statistical model for an ensemble of clocks that are experiencing phase jumps, frequency jumps or anomalies in their measurement links. The proposed robust time scale is designed to mitigate the effects of these anomalies without necessarily identifying them, but through applying a method of robust estimation for the parameters of a Student’s t-distribution. The proposed time scale algorithm using the Student’s t-distribution (ATST) is shown to achieve comparable robustness to phase jumps, frequency jumps, and anomalies in the measurements with respect to the AT1 oracle time scale. The AT1 oracle is a special realization of the AT1 time scale which corrects all anomalies by having prior knowledge of their occurrences. The similar performance of ATST and AT1 oracle suggests that the ATST algorithm is efficient for obtaining robustness with no prior knowledge or detection of the occurrences of anomalies.","PeriodicalId":18444,"journal":{"name":"Metrologia","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142263943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, within the visible/near-infrared spectral region, accurate fibre-based optical power measurements at the few-photon level are not yet well-established. In this study, we report on a fibre-based setup, enabling traceable optical power measurements at the few-photon level in this spectral region. The setup was used to calibrate the detection efficiency (DE) of four single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors. The relative standard uncertainties on the mean DE values obtained from repeat fibre-to-detector couplings ranged from 0.67% to 0.81% (<italic toggle=\"yes\">k</italic> = 2). However, the relative standard deviation of DE values, which ranged from 1.38% to 3.20% (<italic toggle=\"yes\">k</italic> = 2), poses a challenge for the metrology of these devices and applications that require high accuracy and repeatability. We investigated the source of these variations by spatially mapping the response of a detector’s fibre connector port, using a focused free-space beam, allowing us to estimate the detector’s spatial non-uniformity. In addition, we realise a novel calibration approach for fibre-coupled SPADs in a free-space configuration, enabling a direct comparison between the fibre-based setup and the National Physical Laboratory’s established free-space facility using a single SPAD. Finally, we investigated alternative coupling methods, testing the repeatability of different fibre-to-fibre connectors in addition to direct fibre-to-detector couplings: SPADs from three manufacturers were tested, with both single-mode and multi-mode fibre.","PeriodicalId":18444,"journal":{"name":"Metrologia","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In phase-shifting interferometry, increasing the speed by reducing the number of phase shifts while maintaining high accuracy is highly desirable. We propose an accurate and efficient two-step phase reconstruction method utilizing random phase shift. This method directly estimates the phase shift through reliable parameter minimization, allowing for easy and precise phase reconstruction. Simulations and experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our method across various scenarios, outperforming well-known two-step phase-shifting algorithms. We expect this paper to provide a general and powerful tool for phase reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":18444,"journal":{"name":"Metrologia","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The comparison was, in fact, a combination of three bilateral comparisons with the same link/pilot laboratory - the All-Russian Research Institute for Optical and Physical Measurements (VNIIOFI), the Russian Federation. The non-link laboratories were the Belarusian State Institute of Metrology (BelGIM), Belarus, the National Scientific Centre \"Institute of Metrology\" (NSC IM), Ukraine, and the National Metrology Institute of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK UME), Türkiye.The aim of the comparison was to link the BelGIM, NSC IM and TÜBİTAK UME measurement results to the CIPM key comparison CCPR-K1.a.2017, conducted by the Consultative Committee for Photometry and Radiometry (CCPR).Tungsten quartz halogen lamps of the FEL type (1000 W) were used as artefacts. Each participant used its own set of lamps. The sequence of measurements was <italic toggle=\"yes\">participant - pilot - participant</italic>. The pilot measurements of the described here COOMET comparison were performed in a short time (within three months) after completing the measurements of CCPR-K1.a.2017, where VNIIOFI also was a pilot, which provided a high quality link.NSC IM performed measurements in the full spectral range, from 250 nm to 2500 nm, while BelGIM and TÜBİTAK UME managed to cover the range from 250 nm to 1100 nm only.The analysis of the comparison was performed following the approach described in the Appendix A of the Guidelines for CCPR and RMO Bilateral Key Comparisons (CCPR-G5). Differences from KCRV of BelGIM and TÜBİTAK UME, for the most of the measured wavelengths, do not exceed 2% and are within the expanded uncertainties. For NSC IM the differences from KCRV are within or comparable with the uncertainties in the IR range, from 900 nm to 2500 nm, but become larger with decreasing wavelength in the visible and UV reaching 9% at 250 nm.To reach the main text of this paper, click on <ext-link xlink:href=\"https://www.bipm.org/documents/d/guest/coomet-pr-k1a-2018\" xlink:type=\"simple\">Final Report</ext-link>.
