Development of Optical Fiber Frequency and Time Distribution Systems

George Lutes

Abstract:	The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is engaged in the development of ultra stable optical fiber distribution systems for the dissemination of frequency and timing references. The ultimate design goals for these systems are a frequency stability of 10-17 for 72100 sec and time stability of +0.1 ns for 1 year and operation over distances 230 km. This paper will review last years report, describe a prototype system being implemented and discuss progress made in the past year.
