| Résumé |
FACT focuses on a substantial increase in the technological
readiness level of the emerging optical clocks and frequency
standards. While currently driven by the drive towards space, the
ultimate aim of this International Trainning Network (ITN) is to
arrive at the point where commercial development activities can
take over, building also on the human resource of experts trained
along the way. To achieve this aim a range of robust technologies
will be developed, covering all aspects of an optical clock
instrument. Intense preparatory discussions with our commercial
partners ensure that FACT is guided by the needs of industry and
their strong involvement in all aspects of the project ensures that
this will remain the key driving factor. The project scientific and technical objectives will be delivered through 4 work packages (WP1 – Atomic References, WP2 – Ultra Stable Laser Technology, WP3 – Frequency Conversion and Distribution Technology, WP4 – Commercial System Concepts), reflecting the key technology areas to be advanced. |
