Micro-engineered Optical Fibre Clocks

时钟和振荡器是所有通信、导航和计算技术的重要组成部分。这些内部时钟性能的改进会导致依赖系统性能的改进，因此具有很高的经济和技术价值。为了改进光纤通信系统，目前迫切需要紧凑、高性能的时钟。该项目的目标是结合西澳大利亚大学和巴斯大学团队的专业知识，开发一种新型时钟来满足这一需求。

Clocks and oscillators are crucial components of all communication, navigation and computing technologies. Improvements in the performance of these internal clocks results in improvement in the performance of the dependent system, and are thus of high economic and technological value. A great need presently exists for compact and high performance clocks for improving optical fibre communication systems. The goal of this project is join the expertise of the University of Western Australia group with that of the University of Bath team to develop a new type of clock to fulfil this need.
