Abstract :
The rapid advance in optical clocks and oscillators calls for similar advances in free-space frequency/time transfer. I will discuss our frequency-comb based system for coherent optical transfer of time and frequency over free-space links with femtosecond level stabilities and with robustness to atmospheric turbulence.
