The Modulated Wideband Converter (MWC) is a recently proposed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on Compressive Sensing (CS) theory. Unlike conventional ADCs, its quantization reference voltage, which is important to the system…
We have remeasured the absolute $1S$-$2S$ transition frequency $\nu_{\rm {H}}$ in atomic hydrogen. A comparison with the result of the previous measurement performed in 1999 sets a limit of $(-29\pm 57)$ Hz for the drift of $\nu_{\rm {H}}$…
The absolute frequency of the $^{87}{\rm Sr}$ clock transition measured in 2015 was reevaluated using an improved frequency link to the SI second. The scale interval of International Atomic Time (TAI) that we used as the reference was…
We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of two-photon direct frequency-comb spectroscopy performed through velocity-selective excitation. In particular, we explore the effect of repetition rate on the…
We design, test, and analyze fiber-optic voltage sensors based on optical reflection from a piezoelectric transducer. By controlling the physical dimensions of the device, we can tune the frequency of its natural resonance to achieve a…
Dual-comb spectroscopy has demonstrated remarkable capabilities for rapid and sensitive measurements; however, significant challenges still exist in generating high-power, mutually coherent mid-infrared combs. Here we demonstrate that a…

We present an experimental scheme to perform spectroscopy of the $^2$S$_{1/2}-^2$P$_{1/2}$ and $^2$D$_{3/2}-^2$P$_{1/2}$ transitions in \Ca. By rapidly switching lasers between both transitions, we circumvent the complications of both dark…
Frequency-modulated lasers (FMLs) are widely used in spectroscopy, biology, and LiDAR. The performance of these applications highly depends on the fast and precise tracking of the FMLs' absolute frequency, which remains a challenge. Here we…

We numerically evaluate the expected performances of an optical frequency standard at 729 nm based on a single calcium ion. The frequency stability is studied through the Allan deviation and its dependence on the excitation method (single…
High-precision time transfer is of fundamental interest in physics and metrology. Quantum time transfer technologies that use frequency-entangled pulses and their coincidence detection have been proposed, offering potential enhancements in…
