In the first part of our webinar miniseries on high precision metrology we give a brief introduction to the language of frequency metrology:

• Reviewing time and frequency domain quantities such as Allan deviation, phase noise and timing jitter
• Explaining the need for stable oscillators and the levels of performance for different applications
• Presenting the concept of the laser linewidth and the Pound-Drever-Hall laser stabilization
• Comparing the performance of high-end quartz, microwave, and optical oscillators, and reviewing the rules of their fair comparison

Main presenter:
Dr. Nikola Bucalovic, Product Manager - Ultrastable Lasers
