Description

We report on a recent international collaboration in which three emerging optical clock technologies were trialed at sea as part of an international naval exercise.
Each system included an integrated optical frequency comb for synthesis of microwave clock signals, and three-cornered hat measurements were made of both optical and microwave outputs over more than six weeks of operation.
This is a powerful demonstration that optical clocks with integrated optical frequency combs are ready for use outside of the lab.
