Atmospheric transfer of optical and radio frequency clock signals

Abstract

The phase instability induced during the transfer of radio frequency and optical clock signals through the turbulent atmosphere was measured in a rooftop experiment. Radio frequency intensity modulation of a laser to transmit signals over 100m results in an Allan deviation of 1.31×1010 at 1s. Optical transfer is more accurate at 1.68×1013 at 1s. As a consequence, fiber links are more suitable for the transfer of optical frequencies over very long distances while free space transmission might find applications in short distances of less than 1km.
