69 My research activity focuses on the exploitation fiber-based optical
|
|
|
70 frequency combs systems for the transfer of the frequency stability of
|
|
|
71 ultra-stable lasers to other wavelengths in the optical domain and to
|
|
|
72 the microwave domain. Amnong other applications, the aim is to
|
|
|
73 generate high stability optical and microwave signals to probe the
|
|
|
74 atomic fountan clocks and the optical lattice clocks at SYRTE.
|
|

|
75

|

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

101 My previous research activity focused on the study of the limits for
|
|
|
102 achieving near perfect free-fall of macroscopic test masses for the
|
|
|
103 observation of gravitational waves. In particular, I contributed to
|
|
|
104 the on-ground measurement of small force disturbances on the test

|
|
105 masses of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna space low-frequency

107 Pathfinder, exploiting the femto-Newton level sensitivity of a torsion
|
|
7
|
108 pendulum.
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
110 My work work included the experimental activity, the development of
|
|
|
111 data analysis routines for the extraction of stochastic and coherent
|
|
|
112 small force signals, and, concurrently it also aimed at improving the
|
|
|
113 sensitivity of the torsion pendulum apparatus itself, pushing the
|
|
|
114 current limits for small force metrology. I lead the initial effort
|
|
|
115 for the realisation of a low-noise torsion pendulum angular position
|
|
|
116 read-out based on an heterodyne wavefront-sensing interferometer with
|
|
|
117 nanoradian sensitivity, applying some of the LISA Pathfinder
|
|
|
118 interferometer techniques. I collaborated to the development of the
|
|
|
119 LTPDA Matlab Toolbox for the LISA Pathfinder data analysis, with
|
|
|
120 particular attention to the relational database data storage
|
|
|
121 component.
