Time and Frequency Platform
Scientific Area: Engineering and Technology.
EXPR: Ultra-high precision Metrology in Time & Frequency.
Name of the service: Time and Frequency Platform.
Main responsible: Enrico Rubiola, full professor, facility director.
Category of the service: Technological service.
Target group: Academic research, laboratories of metrology (including primary labs), and industrial R&D.
Scientific refence:
The Time and Frequency platform is a merge of Oscillator IMP and LNE-LTFB. The former is a research facility originally funded by the ANR PIA, is dedicated to the measurement of noise, fluctuations, and short-term stability of oscillators and related components/devices in the entire radio spectrum, including microwave photonics. The latter is a platform dedicated to the measurement of frequency, frequency fluctuations and phase noise under ISO 17025 and COFRAC accreditation, officially designated by the LNE for the measurements, and to represent France at BIPM and other international contexts. We maintain a copy of UTC(OP), the official French time scale.
Offer description:
In our scope, we provide (i) measurements, consulting, and loan of equipment for research and R&D, and (ii) measurements and certification under the highest French accreditation. Our equipment and services are accessible via (i) FEMTO Engineering and (ii) LNE-LTFB, while the director should be contacted for research collaborations.
