Development of Optical Clocks and Their Applications to Precision Frequency Measurements and Time Keeping

拟议的国际研究人员交流计划的目标是加强西澳大利亚大学频率标准和计量（FSM）小组与美国领先研究机构（包括国家标准与技术研究所（NIST））在以下领域的持续合作：（i）激光冷却原子频率标准，（ii）在电磁频谱的广泛分离部分之间的光学频率合成和相干时间转移的方法，以及（iii）直接从频率稳定的超快脉冲激光器产生低噪声微波信号。

The goal of the proposed international researcher exchange program is to enhance the ongoing collaboration between the Frequency Standards and Metrology (FSM) Group at the University of Western Australia and leading US research institutions, including National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the field of (i) laser cooled atomic frequency standards, (ii) methods of optical frequency synthesis and coherent time transfer between widely separated parts of electromagnetic spectrum and (iii) generation of low noise microwave signals directly from frequency stabilised ultra-fast pulsed lasers.
