National timekeeping institution sought to enhance stability and precision to support critical national and international scientific work Adtran’s industry-first OSA 3300 SHP with optical pumping ...

Atomic clocks are established as the most precise timekeepers created. Atomic clocks work by deploying lasers to measure the vibrations of atoms (electromagnetic signals). By atoms oscillating at a ...

The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the cesium clocks which are generating the second at ...

Rising precision demands and GPS/GNSS vulnerabilities are driving the urgent need for secure, reliable synchronization Adtran’s new OSA 3300 Super HP and OSA 3350 Super ePRC+ meet the need for ...

Inside a laboratory nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, amid a labyrinth of lenses, mirrors, and other optical machinery bolted to a vibration-resistant table, an apparatus resembling a ...

Industries such as metrology, aerospace and defense need ultra-stable timing for accurate data collection and reliable communication Adtran’s Oscilloquartz optical cesium clock now features the ESTU ...

EUROPE — Every clock in your house probably tells a slightly different time. Now picture those clocks as the most precise instruments humanity has ever built, so accurate that they wouldn’t lose or ...

Back in 2024, a joint collaboration of researchers from TU Wien in Austria and the National Institute of Standards and ...

Unlike other atoms (left), ytterbium-173 (right) has a large nuclear spin and a strongly deformed nucleus whose strong fields interact with the electron shell. This turns forbidden quantum jumps into ...
