CLOck NETwork Services: Strategy and innovation for clock services over optical-fibre networks (CLONETS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

"A scientific and technological paradigm change is taking place, concerning the way that very high performance time and frequency reference signals are distributed, moving from radio signal broadcasting to signal transport over optical fibre networks. The latter technology demonstrates performance improvements by orders of magnitude, over distances up to continental scale. Research infrastructures ...

FUTURE ATOMIC CLOCK TECHNOLOGY (FACT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

During the last decades atomic clocks and frequency standards have become an important resource for advanced economies with impact ranging from satellite navigation (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) to high speed communication networks, where they ensure synchronisation of data packets at ever higher bit rates. In this field the wake of the new millennium has been marked by the invention of frequency comb t ...

Quantum Cascade Lasers Based TERAhertz Frequency COMB (TERACOMB)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Despite significant research efforts during the past 10 years, the terahertz (THz) spectral range remains vastly underexploited, owing essentially to the insufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) achievable with present technology. The project's aim is to address this problem by building a new technological platform enabling the generation of high power, broad bandwidth, THz frequency combs (FCs) w ...

Towards Neutral-atom Space Optical Clocks: Development of high-performance transportable and breadboard optical clocks and advanced subsystems (SOC2)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

"A range of new applications will be enabled by ultra-precise optical clocks, some of which by using them in space, near or far distant from Earth. They cover the fields of fundamental physics (tests of General Relativity), time and frequency metrology (comparison of distant terrestrial clocks, operation of a master clock in space), geophysics (mapping of the gravitational potential of the Earth), ...

Circuit and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CCQED)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

This network will bridge two very active disciplines in physics, namely the quantum electrodynamics of atoms or ions strongly interacting with light in resonators, and the emerging field of solid-state superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics. Advanced techniques will be developed jointly with industry partners for the manipulation of a deterministic number of particles - atoms, ions or art ...

Coherently-enhanced Raman One-beam Standoff Spectroscopic TRacing of Airborne Pollutants (CROSS TRAP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

Project CROSS TRAP tackles the ICT objective of photonic components and subsystems for sensing for environment, well-being safety and security. The project aims at developing a versatile method for standoff chemical identification of trace amounts of airborne pollutants, such as biochemicals, bacterial threats and explosive materials that can be fingerprinted using their characteristic vibrational ...
