About
UK Shared Business Services Ltd awarded a contract to ONEFIVE GMBH for the purchase of a mode-locked and timing-stabilized femtosecond laser system to serve as an optical clock in a research accelerator project.
The laser, which will form the heart of the optical timing and synchronization system, required a pulse repetition rate of 249.875 MHz, synchronization with the accelerator's 3GHz RF oscillator, and a central wavelength within the 1530-1565 nm communications window for fiber distribution.
The contract value was AUD 63,500.
