Igor Kudelin, William Groman, Scott Diddams, Dahyeon Lee, Megan Kelleher, Takuma Nakamura, Charles McLemore, Franklyn Quinlan, Qing-Xin Ji, Joel Guo, Andrey Matsko, John Bowers, Kerry Vahala, Warren Jin, Lue Wu, Yifan Liu, Wei Zhang, Steven Bowers, Joe Campbell, Pedram Shirmohammadi, Samin Hanifi, Haotian Cheng, Naijun Jin, Sam Halliday, Zhaowei Dai, Chao Xiang, Vladimir Iltchenko, Owen Miller, Peter Rakich
Numerous modern technologies are reliant on the low-phase noise and timing stability performance of microwave signals. Substantial progress has been made in the field of microwave photonics, whereby low noise microwave signals are generated by the down

Low-noise microwave generation with an air-gap optical reference cavity

January 30, 2024
Author(s)
Yifan Liu, Dahyeon Lee, Takuma Nakamura, Naijun Jin, Haotian Cheng, Megan Kelleher, Charles McLemore, Igor Kudelin, William Groman, Scott Diddams, Peter Rakich, Franklyn Quinlan
We demonstrate a high finesse, microfabricated mirror-based, air-gap cavity with volume less than 1 ml, constructed in an array, that can support low-noise microwave generation through optical frequency division. We use the air-gap cavity in conjunction

Sub-GHz Resolution Line-by-Line Pulse Shaper for Driving Josephson Junctions

August 29, 2023
Author(s)
Dahyeon Lee, Takuma Nakamura, Andrew Metcalf, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Anna Fox, Paul Dresselhaus, Franklyn Quinlan
We demonstrate a sub-GHz resolution, fully programmable Fourier-domain pulse shaper capable of generating arbitrary optical pulse patterns. This high resolution allows line-by-line pulse shaping of a 1 GHz comb with a span as large as 1 THz, which

Coherent Optical Clock Down-Conversion for Microwave Frequencies with 10-18 Instability

May 22, 2020
Author(s)
Takuma Nakamura, Josue Davila-Rodriguez, Holly Leopardi, Jeffrey Sherman, Tara Fortier, Xiaojun Xie, Joe C. Campbell, Will McGrew, Xiaogang Zhang, Youssef Hassan, Daniele Nicolodi, Kyle Beloy, Andrew Ludlow, Scott Diddams, Franklyn Quinlan
Optical atomic clocks are poised to redefine the SI second, thanks to stability and accuracy more than one hundred times better than the current microwave atomic clock standard. However, the best optical clocks have not seen their performance transferred
