Compact, thermal-noise-limited reference cavity for ultra-low-noise microwave generation.
We demonstrate an easy-to-manufacture 25-mm-long ultra-stable optical reference cavity for transportable photonic microwave generation systems. Employing a rigid holding geometry that is first-order insensitive to the squeezing force and a cavity geometry that improves the thermal noise limit at room temperature, we observe a laser phase noise that is nearly thermal noise limited for three freq...
متن کاملUltra-low-noise Cavity-stabilized Microwave Reference Oscillator Using an Air-dielectric Resonator
Ultra-low-noise microwave oscillators are often required to serve as reference signals in precision phase modulation (PM) noise measurement systems and in a host of other applications. We have significantly improved the spectral purity of NIST’s traditional cavity-stabilized microwave oscillator design, which uses a conventional air-dielectric cavity resonator as a frequency discriminator. We d...
متن کاملUltra low-noise current sources
The current sources which are normally used in research laboratories are not suitable for low noise measurement systems because of the unacceptable level of low frequency noise which they introduce in the measurement chain. The most important source of low frequency noise in such instruments is the solid state device (usually a Zener diode) which is used as voltage reference. By using a novel c...
متن کاملPhase Noise Compensation with Limited Reference Symbols
Phase noise (PN) can cause severe link performance degradation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this work, we propose an efficient PN mitigation algorithm where the PN statistics are used to obtain more accurate channel estimates. As opposed to prior PN mitigation schemes that assume perfect channel information and/or require abundant reference symbols, the propo...
متن کاملThermal-noise-limited underground interferometer CLIO
We report on the current status of CLIO (Cryogenic Laser Interferometer Observatory), which is a prototype interferometer for LCGT (large scale cryogenic gravitational-wave telescope). LCGT is a Japanese next-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detector featuring the use of cryogenic mirrors and a quiet underground site. The main purpose of CLIO is to demonstrate a reduction of the mi...
