Funded Activity Summary
Creation of New Precision Optical and Microwave Technologies and their Application to Testing the Fundamental of Physics. Clocks and oscillators are crucial for the highest precision scientific and industrial measurements and are the foundation of modern communications technology. Recent developments in laser-cooled optical clocks promise a wave of revolutionary changes to global navigation, timekeeping and precision measurement. Our group has already achieved world's-best performance in this field. To stay at the forefront of this wave we propose a broad-ranging program of research aimed at: - new clocks of 100 times higher performance than any existing clock, - development of extremely low noise photonic oscillators, - the application of these new technologies to test the foundations of Physics, including involvement in a space-based experiment.Funded Activity Details
