| Abstract: | Stable fiber optic links have been operational in NASA’s DSN for over 20 years providing distribution limited fractional frequency stability below 10-14 at one second and reaching 10-18 at ~10,000 seconds. We summarize recent stabilized photonic link developments for DSN operation capable of high performance and reliability, and at much lower cost than previous systems. Recent research has focused on two applications, 1) actively stabilized links to transport 100 MHz metrology frequency references to sites up to 30 km from the central atomic frequency standard, and 2) stabilized links transporting broadband S, X, and Ka band signals used in deep space tracking and navigation and antenna arraying applications. |
