Abstract

An ultra-stable microwave (USM) based on an ultra-stable laser (USL) and fiber optical frequency comb (OFC) is built at the National Institute of Metrology (NIM), China. The sum frequency of the carrier envelope offset frequency of FOFC and the beating frequency between the USL and FOFC is stabilized with an 100MHz microwave signal which is controlled by the H master. The error signal controls the pumping laser power through the pumping current and the cavity length by the piezoelectric transducer (PZT). Meanwhile, the error signal is send to the temperature control part of the optical resonant cavity for the long term stability. The stability of the USM is 1.33E-14 at 1s. The whole USM system is much robust, and can continuously running more than 30 days. This USM will be applied as the local oscillator for NIM5 Cs fountain to improve its short term stability.
