This paper describes two-way time transfer over an optical network. The method is based on newly developed adapters utilizing channels in a DWDM (Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) all-optical network. Results of several tests performed in real production network including the time transfer between atomic clocks in Prague and Vienna over more than 500 km long optical link are presented. In addition, the comparison of Common View GPS and optical time transfers is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
