... 1. No need for synchronization at the receiver since the optical reference signal is transmitted at a different state of polarization; 2. No error floor and no power penalty in the BER performance due to the intermediate angular frequency (IF) and the IF phase noise are eliminated by employing polar ...

Generating persistent current-- in this case lasting 40 seconds-- was not easy, as defects in the atom trap can cause the current to disappear. The researchers ...

Mode-locking
Mode-locking is a technique in optics by which a laser can be made to produce pulses of light of extremely short duration, on the order of picoseconds (10−12 s) or femtoseconds (10−15 s).The basis of the technique is to induce a fixed-phase relationship between the longitudinal modes of the laser's resonant cavity. The laser is then said to be 'phase-locked' or 'mode-locked'. Interference between these modes causes the laser light to be produced as a train of pulses. Depending on the properties of the laser, these pulses may be of extremely brief duration, as short as a few femtoseconds.
