Abstract
An ultra-stable microwave based on ultra-stable laser and fiber optical frequency comb (FOFC) is built at the National Institute of Metrology China (NIM). The repetition rate (fr) of FOFC is stabilized by stabilizing the sum of the carrier envelope of set frequency (fceo) of FOFC and the beating frequency between the ultra-stable laser and FOFC. A current feedback with 30 kHz bandwidth and a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) with 1 kHz bandwidth are applied for the feedback locking. The frequency jitter of the stabilized sum frequency is about 4 Hz. The short time stability of fr is calculated better than 1E-14. This ultra-stable microwave will be applied as local oscillator for NIM5 Cs fountain to improve its short term stability.
