A Cryogenic Sapphire Oscillator with 10−16 mid-term ADEV
Résumé
We report in this letter the outstanding frequency stability performances of an autonomous cryogenique sapphire oscillator presenting a flicker frequency noise floor below 2e-16 near 1,000 s of integration time and a long term Allan Deviation (ADEV) limited by a random walk process of 1e-18/sqr(tau). The frequency stability qualification at this level called for the implementation of sophisticated instrumentation associated with ultra-stable frequency references and ad hoq averaging and correlation methods.
