Time and frequency transfer in all-optical network
Smotlacha, V. ; Kuna, Alexander
This paper describes usage of all-optical network for time metrology application - Time and frequency transfer between two geographically distant sites. Although several approaches exist, there is no production implementation yet. Our method is based on newly developed adapters utilizing channels in a DWDM (Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) network. We present results of tests performed in real production all-optical network including the time transfer between atomic clocks in Prague and Vienna over more than 500 km long optical path

Optical infrastructure for time and frequency transfer
Smotlacha, V. ; Vojtěch, J. ; Kuna, Alexander
The paper describes optical infrastructure for time and frequency transfer in the Czech republic. The infrastructure is heterogeneous and utilises resources of the Czech academic optical network. It allows to interconnect Cesium standards in distant sites with the national time and frequency laboratory and to distribute accurate time and stable frequency. We also present results and compare them with other methods of time transfer
