Abstract
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a method for producing a stable optical clock signal of more than 12.4GHz using the classical wave phenomenon of frequency beating.
Technical Details
Commonly, where an optical clock is needed, an electronic one is as well, and the invention proposed herein offers both simultaneously. The design presented here produces a beat note created through the paring of two mode-locked pulses.
Benefit
More stable than conventional electronic oscillator timing signalsNo need for radio frequency synthesisMarket Application
Computational devicesHybrid opto-electronic devicesSimultaneous electronic and optical timing synchronization
