“…Dissemination of ultrastable light has broad impact, with applications including characterisation of distant laser sources, precision spectroscopy with improved time and frequency distribution 43 – 46 and seismology through optical fibres 47 . Recent demonstrations of high fidelity transfer of the properties of metrological light from the optical domain to the microwave 48 , 49 and radio frequency 50 , 51 domain, further extend the range of applications of this work to radar 52 , navigation, telecommunication, quantum communication 53 , radio astronomy, synchronisation of radio telescope arrays, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) 50 , 51 , geodesy and frequency comparison through VLBI 54 , 55 , deep-space communication and tracking 56 .…”
