DATA SHEET FLS v1.2017 Cycle GmbH • Hamburg • Germany www.cyclelasers.com [email protected] Fiber Link Stabilizer APPLICATION Time of flight stabilization of fiber timing links DESCRIPTION The fully-automated FLS consists of a fiber link, a balanced optical cross-correlator, and all the other necessary actuators, fiber components, and control elements to support a fully-automated timing- stabilized fiber link. It preserves the low noise properties of the master laser during the delivery of the timing signal to remote locations by time-of-flight cross-correlation, resulting in market-leading low-drift and low-jitter timing distribution.
