NIST Inventors
Sergey Polyakov and Ivan Burenkov
A communication linker includes: a classical encoder; an optical transmitter; a receiver; a local oscillator in communication with the receiver and that: receives a feedback signal; and produces a displacement frequency, based on the feedback signal; a single photon detector in communication with
Powerpoint slide, showing via map and photograhpy, the distance from NIST Boulder to Valmont Butte

Optical Time Distributor and Process for Optical Two-Way Time-Frequency Transfer

NIST Inventors
Laura Sinclair , William C. Swann and JD Deschenes
An optical time distributor includes: a master clock including: a master comb; a transfer comb; and a free-space optical terminal; and a remote clock in optical communication with the master clock via a free space link and including: a remote comb that produces: a remote clock coherent optical pulse
A line drawing describing the apparatus and method for dynamically controlling spectrum access

Apparatus and Method for Dynamically Controlling Spectrum Access

NIST Inventors
Timothy A. Hall and Anirudha Sahoo
A method and apparatus for spectrum access by secondary users in a dynamic spectrum access (DSA) system are provided. In a DSA system, a primary user (PU) has priority access to the channel. A secondary user (SU) can transmit opportunistically when the channel is idle, i.e., when the PU is not
