Light allows to time travel: light from the Universe offers the possibility to look back to its ancestral epochs, at the very first moments. Nowadays light is also a carrier that allows time to travel, bringing atomic clocks references with the most advanced precision. The frontier of timekeeping and time transfer using light paves the way to unprecedented applications in science and metrology. Light is fundamental in the present effort to redefine the unit of time, to improve our knowledge of fundamental physics laws, geodesy, radioastronomy. Light could be also a new mean to investigate dark matter in the known Universe and possibly to detect gravitational waves. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2015

A broadband VLBI system using transportable stations for geodesy and metrology: an alternative approach to the VGOS concept

Mamoru Sekido, Kazuhiro Takefuji, Hideki Ujihara, Tetsuro Kondo, Masanori Tsutsumi, Eiji Kawai, Hidekazu Hachisu, Nils Nemitz, Marco Pizzocaro, Cecilia Clivati, Federico Perini, Monia Negusini, Giuseppe Maccaferri, Roberto Ricci, Mauro Roma, Claudio Bortolotti, Kunitaka Namba, Jun'ichi Komuro, Ryuichi Ichikawa, Tomonari Suzuyama, Ken-ichi Watabe, Julia Leute, Gerard Petit, Davide Calonico, Tetsuya Ido

Summary: A new broadband VLBI system, inspired by the concept of VGOS, has been developed using small diameter node antennas in conjunction with a large 'hub' antenna to overcome sensitivity limitations while eliminating error sources associated with large antennas. Experiments using this approach have been conducted over short and intercontinental distances, revealing structure effects in correlation amplitude and presenting a source size model based on frequency-dependent data.

Summary: In this study, the authors use technologies from the optical clocks community to demonstrate a setup for twin-field quantum key distribution (QKD) that extends the coherence times by three orders of magnitude, overcoming the main challenge towards real-world implementation. They develop a solution using interferometry techniques to enable simultaneous key streaming and channel length control, and successfully demonstrate it on a 206 km field-deployed fiber. This technique represents an effective solution for real-world quantum communications.

Improving the Resolution of Comb-Based Frequency Measurements Using a Track-And-Hold Amplifier

Matias Risaro, Paolo Savio, Marco Pizzocaro, Filippo Levi, Davide Calonico, Cecilia Clivati

Summary: This research describes the use of a track-and-hold amplifier to implement gated detection for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of beatnotes between an optical frequency comb and a continuous-wave laser. The proposed technique provides a higher signal-to-noise ratio compared to traditional detection schemes, allowing for reliable spectral purity transfer and reducing sensitivity to power variations in the comb spectrum.

Summary: We present a new absolute frequency measurement of ytterbium (Yb-171) using a hydrogen maser or an optical frequency comb, against a cryogenic caesium fountain. The frequency of the Yb-171 unperturbed clock transition is 518 295 836 590 863.44(14) Hz, with a total fractional uncertainty of 2.7x10(-16), consistent with the recommended Yb frequency.

Broadband serrodyne phase modulation for optical frequency standards and spectral purity transfer

M. Barbiero, J. P. Salvatierra, M. Risaro, C. Clivati, D. Calonico, M. G. Tarallo

Summary: This article introduces a low phase noise, efficient serrodyne modulation method for optical frequency control and spectral purity transfer between two ultrastable lasers. The phase noise induced by the modulation setup is estimated using a novel composite self-heterodyne interferometer. By exploiting serrodyne modulation, a 698 nm ultrastable laser was phase locked to a superior 1156 nm ultrastable laser source using a frequency comb as a transfer oscillator, demonstrating the reliability of this technique for ultrastable optical frequency standards.
