Abstract | Networks of optical clocks find applications in precise navigation(1,2), in efforts to redefine the fundamental unit of the 'secone(3-6) and in gravitational tests(7). As the frequency instability for state-of-the-art optical clocks has reached the 10(-19) levels(8,9), the vision of a global-scale optical network that achieves comparable performances requires the dissemination oftime and frequency over a long-distance free-space link with a similar instability of 10(-19). However, previous attempts at free-space dissemination oftime and frequency at high precision did not extend beyond dozens of kilometres(10,11). Here we report time-frequency dissemination with an offset of 6.3 x 10(-20)+/- 3.4 x 10(-19) and an instability oflessthan 4 x 10(-19) at 10,000 sthrough a free-space link of113 km. Key technologies essential to this achievement include the deployment of high-power frequency combs, high-stability and high-efficiency optical transceiver systems and efficient linear optical sampling. We observe that the stability we have reached is retained for channel losses up to 89 dB. The technique we report can not only be directly used in ground-based applications, but could also lay the groundwork for future satellite time-frequency dissemination. |
