Multichannel picosecond precision time stamp system with amplitude measurement for multiple pulsed laser positioning satellites

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Growth and Employment - LV - ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI (2014LV16MAOP001), managing authority: FM. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Riga (NUTS LV006); Latvia. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 379,584.5; EU co-financing EUR 303,667.6 (co-financing rate 80%), as stated by the source. Runs 2021-01-01 to 2023-11-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): The aim of the project is to create high precision synchronisation technology, event timers, with multiple channels and amplitude measurement capabilities for satellite laser location (SLR) stations with multiple pulse emission sources. Such a request was expressed from leading organisations and experts (DIGOS, Pulse Power, The Paradigm Factor) at the last International Laser Location Service (ILRS) which took place in Stuttgart, October 21-25, 2019. The new synchronisation system will allow to obtain data on inclination, extremity, slope reduction from multiple sources and analyse signal amplitude. This information will significantly increase measurement accuracy and open new opportunities for scientists working in the field of satellite positioning, synchronisation and geodesy. In addition, the technology will be applied to Imaging-Flash LIDAR and three-dimensional scanning systems, gravitational field measurement, quantum communications, laser communications (T2L2), internet space (iOS), etc. Leading companies (Photek, Digos, The Paradigm Factor, Jena-Optronik etc.) have already expressed their interest. The main requirements for this advanced Event timer are:1)Synchronisation accuracy – better than 3 picosseconds (< in 1 mm range)2)“Dead” time – better than 30 nanoseconds per channel and without break between channels3)Canals number of five or more4)Amplitude measurement capabilitiesThe current synchronisation system, developed by the Eventech command and without interchannel breakage3)Canals number five or more4)Amplitude measuring capabilitiesThe current synchronisation system, developed by the Eventech command and without interchannel break 3, is recognised as the standard for snapshot measurement, and is used as a three-surplus system. The main objective of the project is to create a knowledge-based concept for multichannel synchronisation systems, with amplitude measurement capabilities for the creation and development of advanced multilaser satellite [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
