Abstract

Bidirectional phase-stabilized optical fiber links allow state-of-the-art optical clocks to be compared on a continental scale.However, intercontinental comparisons are still based on satellite techniques, preventing optical clocks from being compared without degradation.We performed the first optical frequency transfer experiment over submarine links, measuring levels of environmentally induced noise substantially lower than for on-land links.From these measurements, we predict the transfer stability that can be achieved over transoceanic links.We also performed the first optical frequency transfer over fibers installed in power cables, observing optical perturbations caused by the high-voltage field.Finally, we show that the low background noise of fibers on the seafloor allows applications in geophysical sensing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
