Ground-satellite optical two-way time and frequency transfer through atmospheric turbulence
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Ground-satellite optical time and frequency transfer links will be an essential part of future global clock networks. New time transfer links are needed to support the comparison of state-of-the-art optical lattice clocks in space, and at intercontinental distances across the Earth. New satellite optical links, leveraging optical communications technology, can enable applications in global timekeeping, precision navigation, tests of General Relativity, mapping of terrestrial coordinate frames, and more. This dissertation applies the theory of optical propagation through atmospheric turbulence to the ground-satellite link geometry, for the purpose of analyzing the timing and frequency instability of two-way ground-satellite optical links
