Cs clock is now the standard for the second (since 1968?). Optical clocks (Hg+ (Bergquist), Yb+, Sr+ ions) surpassed Cs in 2006 – but can still only be considered secondary standards. “ Time too good to be true.” Accuracies so good that altitude differences of a few feet due to gravitational effects can be observed.
HeNe amplifier-laser offset from oscillator by 70MHz. Comparison then removes noise of 70MHz oscillator. Ti:saph jitter = 25fs 1kHz-10MHz. Allen variance: stability currently limited to about 10^ -12 due to problem with HeNe laser. The spectrum enhancing output coupler will enhance the DFG beat signal by ~4dB (currently 30dB). The new output coupler will also give the power increases necessary to allow f-2f self referencing (current 55dB).
Sub-diffraction – synthetic aperture;1-mm 3-D resolution at 20km, 100um resolution at 1.5km Sensing – recognize multiple compounds at same time
Kim – sub-10fs jitter (< 1MHz – 300m roundtrip limited) and drift (days)
