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 ...

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 ...

Microresonator based Frequency Comb Generators (µComb)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,

Optical frequency combs have revolutionized optical frequency metrology in just a few years. They have made it possible to directly count light field oscillations of several 100 million cycles per second. Traditionally they have been created with mode locked ultra short pulse lasers. In this project we propose to investigate frequency comb generation based on monolithic micro resonators. As recent ...

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 ...
