76 My research activity focuses on the exploitation fiber-based optical
|
|
|
77 frequency combs systems for the transfer of the frequency stability of
|
|
|
78 ultra-stable lasers to other wavelengths in the optical domain and to
|
|
|
79 the microwave domain. Amnong other applications, the aim is to
|
|
|
80 generate high stability optical and microwave signals to probe the
|
|
|
81 atomic fountan clocks and the optical lattice clocks at SYRTE.
|
|

|
82

|

|
83 In the optical domain we recently realized and an optical frequency
|
|
|
84 stability transfer scheme based on an optical frequency comb capable
|
|
|
85 of transferring frequency stability exceeding the thermal noise limit
|
|
|
86 of state-of-the-art high-finesse optical cavities. In the microwave
|
|
|
87 domain the solution implemented in my laboraotry is already capable to
|
|
|
88 compete with the stability of state-of-the-art cryogenic sapphire
|
|
|
89 oscillators. My research aims at further improving the phase noise of
|
|
|
90 the generated microwave signal by exploring new optical frequency comb
|
|
|
91 and photo-detection technologies.
|
|
|
92
|
|
|
93 I am also responsible for the operation of the femtosecond combs for
|
|
|
94 the characterization the ultra-stable laser developed at SYRTE and for
|
|
|
95 the comparison of the different optical and microwave clocks operated
|
|
|
96 at SYRTE with stability and accuracy not limited by the stability of
|
|
|
97 the optical frequency comb setup.

108 My previous research activity focused on the study of the limits for
|
|
|
109 achieving near perfect free-fall of macroscopic test masses for the
|
|
|
110 observation of gravitational waves. In particular, I contributed to
|
|
|
111 the on-ground measurement of small force disturbances on the test
|
|
|
112 masses of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna space low-frequency
|

|
114 Pathfinder, exploiting the femto-Newton level sensitivity of a torsion
|
|
7
|
115 pendulum.
|
|
|
116
|
|
|
117 My work work included the experimental activity, the development of
|
|
|
118 data analysis routines for the extraction of stochastic and coherent
|
|
|
119 small force signals, and, concurrently it also aimed at improving the
|
|
|
120 sensitivity of the torsion pendulum apparatus itself, pushing the
|
|
|
121 current limits for small force metrology. I lead the initial effort
|
|
|
122 for the realisation of a low-noise torsion pendulum angular position
|
|
|
123 read-out based on an heterodyne wavefront-sensing interferometer with
|
|
|
124 nanoradian sensitivity, applying some of the LISA Pathfinder
|
|
|
125 interferometer techniques. I collaborated to the development of the
|
|
|
126 LTPDA Matlab Toolbox for the LISA Pathfinder data analysis, with
|
|
|
127 particular attention to the relational database data storage
|
|
|
128 component.
