Where to Buy Optical Clocks
Optical clocks can provide timing signals with extremely high short-term and long-term stability. They rely on some optical frequency standard (e.g. with an ion trap) in conjunction with additional equipment, for example involving femtosecond laser frequency combs.

 All wavelengths. Lochhamer Schlag 19 82166 Gräfelfing Germany Quality: ISO 9001:2015 www.toptica.com Social: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube E-mail: Tel.: +49 89 85 83 70 Fax: +49 89 85 83 72 00 |  Mechanical clocks were the most accurate timekeepers for centuries achieving typical accuracies of seconds per day (10^-4) and record values of seconds per year (10^-7). Modern optical atomic clocks are accurate to seconds in the age of the universe (3 · 10-18) and can be compared using TOPTICA’s Difference Frequency Comb (DFC). The complete stabilized laser system including the DFC CORE, any desired wavelength extension, beat unit, stabilization electronics, wavelength meter, counter, and lasers is now available from one source. Any of TOPTICA’s tunable diode lasers with a wavelength between 190 nm and 2200 nm can be locked to the DFC, lasers with shorter wavelengths can be stabilized using the fundamental of their SHG unit. The complete laser system is controlled from a single GUI. |
 Precision in photonics. Together we shape light.
