Description
We present high performance, transportable, dual-axis optical frequency references based upon NPL's patented cubic cavity design. These cavities have demonstrated leading insensitivity to micro-vibrational perturbations and are pushing fractional frequency instability performance beyond the mid 10-15 level at 1 s. These characteristics led themselves to many applications including spaced-based gravitational wave detection, low phase noise microwave generation and laser stabilisation requirements in transportable optical lattice clocks.
