| 26 | 75 optical frequency metrology \and ultra-stable lasers \and optical |
| 76 atomic clocks \and optical frequency combs \and photonic microwave | |
| 77 generation \and spectral purity transfer \and fiber and free-space | |
| 78 optical frequency transfer \and gravitational waves detection \and | |
| 79 torsion balances | |

| 81 | |
| 82 \noindent | |
| 26 | 83 Ultra-stable lasers are essential optical atomic clocks, quantum |
| 84 devices based on cold atoms, and quantum communications. Better laser | |
| 85 frequency stability will improve optical atomic clocks timekeeping | |
| 86 stability and will enable more stringent fundamental physics tests | |
| 87 that will challenge our understanding of the universe. Cryogenic | |
| 88 high-finesse optical cavities allow to overcome the thermal noise | |
| 89 limit of room-temperature optical cavities and represent the | |
| 90 state-of-the-art in laser frequency stabilization. I develop | |
| 91 cryogenic optical cavities targeting even better laser frequency | |
| 92 stability by operating at lower temperatures and employing new | |
| 93 designs, novel mirror technologies, and different materials. | |
| 94 | |
| 95 Optical atomic clocks are the most accurate measurement devices ever | |
| 96 realized and are set to replace microwave Cs clocks as definition of | |
| 97 the second. I contributed to the development and systematic | |
| 98 uncertainty evaluation of NIST's Yb optical lattice clocks that made | |
| 99 these clocks the world's most accurate optical clocks. I contributed | |
| 100 to the measurement campaigns that compared NIST's Yb optical lattice | |
| 101 clocks with other optical atomic clocks and with microwave primary and | |
| 102 secondary frequency standards via optical fiber links and satellite | |
| 103 microwave links. The unprecedented accuracy and the agreement | |
| 104 demonstrated between the clocks realized an important milestone toward | |
| 105 the future redefinition of the second. | |
| 0 | 106 |
| 26 | 107 Exploiting ultra-stable lasers for scientific and technological |
| 108 applications most often requires transferring their exquisite | |
| 109 frequency stability to oscillators operating at a different | |
| 110 frequency. I developed a fiber-based optical frequency comb system | |
| 111 that realized optical frequency stability transfer between lasers | |
| 112 widely different wavelength with unprecedented and unsurpassed | |
| 113 frequency stability. Low phase noise microwaves sources are paramount | |
| 114 for many applications, including precision metrology, deep-space | |
| 115 navigation, coherent radar, and wireless communications. In | |
| 116 collaboration with industrial partners, I developed a fiber-based | |
| 117 optical frequency comb system for photonic microwave generation with | |
| 118 unprecedented and unsurpassed low phase noise and zeptosecond-level | |
| 119 absolute timing noise. This system has then been commercialized. | |
| 120 | |
| 121 Gravitational waves observations are revolutionizing astronomy and | |
| 122 astrophysics. Detecting gravitational waves relies on | |
| 123 interferometrically measuring the distance between test-masses in near | |
| 124 perfect free-fall. I conducted on-ground measurement of the small | |
| 125 force disturbances acting on the test-masses of the LISA space | |
| 126 gravitational waves detector exploiting the femto-Newton level | |
| 127 sensitivity of a torsion balance. I identified and modelled an | |
| 128 unexpected increase of Brownian noise from residual gas molecules | |
| 129 collisions in constrained geometries, with repercussions on the design | |
| 130 of LISA and second generation ground-based gravitational wave | |
| 131 detectors. I contributed to the design of the LISA Pathfinder mission | |
| 132 for the in-flight testing of the concept of low-frequency | |
| 133 gravitational waves detection in space and that validated the | |
| 134 disturbance model developed from the on-ground measurements. | |
