Abstract :
Present and future applications of fiber-optic frequency distribution systems are discussed and it is noted that for applications requiring distribution stability greater than one part in 1015 at 1000 s averaging times, a stabilized fiber optic link is the only choice presently available. A stabilized fiber optic system that can improve distribution stability by more than 100 times is also described. It uses a cable delay compensator
