摘要
We have developed a radio-frequency (RF) dissemination system using optical fibers. The phase noise induced during the transmission is actively cancelled by the compensation system with a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator. A first proving test was conducted on an urban telecom fiber link with a length of 10 km, and a frequency stability of 1 x 10(-17) was achieved at an averaging time of one day. As an application of ultrastable frequency dissemination, a 1-GHz signal based on a cryogenic sapphire oscillator was transferred through a 25-km fiber and used as a microwave reference for an optical frequency comb. A fractional frequency stability of an ultranarrow clock laser for a Ca+ ion optical frequency standard was measured by the comb as 9 x 10(15) at 1 s, which included both laser stability and transferred reference stability.
