Vescent Brings Optical Clocks to the Market with DFM
Vescent and the Danish National Metrology Institute (DFM) announce a highly accurate user-configurable optical clock assembled entirely from their commercially available components achieving 200 femtoseconds (0.0000000000002) timing instabilities at one second and sub nanosecond holdover at one day. Using Vescent’s commercially available, market-leading optical frequency comb (OFC), the FFC-100, to down-convert the clock cycle to the RF and the wavelength-stabilized output of the DFM Stabilaser 1542e as the clock laser, this powerful combination of components (including the Vescent SLICE-FPGA-II) yields a “Box to Clock” in less than 30 minutes (including warm-up time for all three devices), which customers can purchase today in North America for an introductory price of US$199,500 with a current lead-time of 6 to 12 weeks. Vescent is the exclusive Distributor for the DFM Stabilaser 1542e in the US and Canada.
Thank you Vescent Team!
We want to shift our focus today from talking about tech to the real force that propels Vescent forward – our extraordinary team!
Introducing the FFC-100!
Learn about our Fiber Frequency Comb, the FFC-100!
A rugged, compact, all-fiber frequency comb, designed and built to provide frequency stability transferable to the SWIR, NIR, visible, and RF spectra.
Fully stabilizable, with fractional Modified Allan Deviation below 10-22, the FFC-100 serves PNT, low-phase noise microwave, field sensing, and quantum security & computing applications in the lab and in the field.
qNimble Quarto functions as a modulation source, lock-in amplifier, and PI loop filter
Nathan Lemke and his students at the Bethel University AMO lab locked a laser to a two-photon transition of rubidium-85. They used the qNimble Quarto as a modulation source, lock-in amplifier, and PI loop filter servo to effect a Pound Drever Hall (PDH) type lock.
