Title: Photonic Applications for Millimeter-Wave Local Oscillators for ALMA
Speaker: Bill Shillue, NRAO
Abstract:
The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) is an international radio astronomical facility currently under construction in Chile [1]. Due to the unprecedented combination of high frequencies (950 GHz), long baselines (20 km), the interferometruc array will require Local Oscillators (LO) and LO references with extremely low phase-noise and phase drift. The design calls for wideband millimeter-wave LO's at each antenna, referenced to an ultrastable, tunable photonic reference which is transmitted from a central building over distances of up to 15 km. The photonic reference is converted to a millimiter-wave signal (27-122 GHz range) by a high-speed photomixer at the antenna. This photonic system will be described. abstract continued
