Optical Clock Supercedes Cesium As Standard in Accurate Timekeeping

Atomic clocks based on the oscillations of a cesium atom keep amazingly steady time and also define the precise length of a second. But cesium clocks are no longer the most accurate. That title has been transferred to an optical clock housed at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colo. that can keep time to within 1 second in 3.7 billion years.

Phase-sensitive optical data transmission: a new frontier

Traditionally, commercial fibre-optic communications have relied on encoding the data in the amplitude of a light beam (varying the intensity of the light to transmit information). Placing devices called 'Erbium-doped fibre amplifiers' at intervals along the fibre to periodically boost signal strength overcomes propagation loss, but provides a relatively inefficient use of fibre potential.
