An Enterprise Ireland client - Eblana Photonics - has won a significant European Space Agency (ESA) contract to develop lasers for use in the most precise atomic clocks that have ever been proposed
An Enterprise Ireland client - Eblana Photonics - has won a significant European Space Agency (ESA) contract to develop lasers for use in the most precise atomic clocks that have ever been proposed. 'Atomic clocks' are the world's most accurate clocks and are used in the existing European Galileo satellite system design used for global positioning. These satellite-borne clocks must be highly accurate and stable since a deviation of even one nanos...
