چکیده

We demonstrated for the first time (to our knowledge) the characterization of absolute frequency stability of three reference cavities by cross beating three laser beams that are independently locked to these reference cavities. This method shows the individual feature of each reference cavity, while conventional beat note measurement between two cavities can provide only an upper bound. This method allows for numerous applications such as optimizing the performance of the reference cavity for optical clockwork.

A Temperature Compensation Voltage Controlled Oscillator Using a Complementary to Absolute Temperature Voltage Reference

This paper presents a temperature compensation voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based on Cross-Coupled pair and Colpitts structures which is suitable for military fields. Also, two inductors have been used for increasing the negative conductance. By using this method, start-up condition has been improved. Two varactors and a simple capacitor bank are applied for covering a wide tunning range...

Long-term stabilization of the length of an optical reference cavity

To obtain a high degree of long-term length stabilisation of an optical reference cavity, its freespectral range is locked by means of an accurate and stable frequency synthesizer. The locking scheme is twofold: a laser is locked on the N mode of a reference Fabry-Perot cavity and part of the laser light is shifted in frequency to be in resonance with the (N+1) mode of the cavity. This shift is...

نگاهی جدید در طراحی مدار بسامد رادیویی سطح پایین کارا برای سیکلوترون 10 مگا الکترون ولت

The electric field in cavity accelerates charged particles and magnetic field of magnets changes the direction of these particles in cyclotrons. In order to establish the electric field inside the cavity, a noiseless radio frequency (RF) signal should be generated, amplified and sent to cavity. The resonant frequency of the cavity could be changed by temperature variation. Variation of resonant...

Investigation of the Effect of Synchronization Techniques on the Stability of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems

Abstract: Due to the increasing use of microgrids, investigation of their stability is of special interest. One of the disadvantages of an inverter-based distribution unit is that at any given time, phase and frequency information at the point of common coupling (PCC) is required that affected the stability. The synchronization techniques include synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop (S...

Absolute and relative stability of an optical frequency reference based on spectral hole burning in Eu3+:Y2SiO5.

We present and analyze four frequency measurements designed to characterize the performance of an optical frequency reference based on spectral hole burning in Eu3+:Y2SiO5. The first frequency comparison, between a single unperturbed spectral hole and a hydrogen maser, demonstrates a fractional frequency drift rate of 5×10(-18)  s(-1). Optical frequency comparisons between a pattern of spectral...
