Characterization of the individual short-term frequency stability of Cryogenic Sapphire Oscillators at the 1e-16 level

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present the characterisation of three Cryogenic Sapphire Oscillators using the three-corner-hat method. Easily implemented with commercial components and instruments, this method reveals itself very useful to analyse the frequency stability limitations of these state-of-the-art ultra-stable oscillators. The best unit presents a fractional frequency stability better than 5e-16 at 1 s and below 2e-16 for integration times less than 5,000s.
