Funded Activity Summary

Worldwide Collaboration for the Creation of New Frequency Standards, and their Application to testing the Foundations of Physics. Frequency standards are crucial for the highest precision scientific measurements as well as in modern communication and information technology (C&IT). Having already achieved world-best performance for short-term frequency stability, our research team is seeking support to participate in a broad international program with three particular objectives: (i) create new frequency standards based on laser-cooled atoms, (ii) develop femtosecond laser technology for generating low noise microwave and optical signals, (iii) develop microwave technology suitable for operation in space. Improved frequency standards will allow decisive measurements on several fundamental scientific questions, as well as leading to commercial applications in C&IT.
