+of state-of-the-art high-finesse optical cavities.  In the microwave
+domain the solution implemented in my laboraotry is already capable to
+compete with the stability of state-of-the-art cryogenic sapphire
+oscillators.  My research aims at further improving the phase noise of
+the generated microwave signal by exploring new optical frequency comb
+and photo-detection technologies.
+
+I am also responsible for the operation of the femtosecond combs for
+the characterization the ultra-stable laser developed at SYRTE and for
+the comparison of the different optical and microwave clocks operated
+at SYRTE with stability and accuracy not limited by the stability of
+the optical frequency comb setup.
