We investigate optical frequency dissemination over a 1400 km long fiber link in looped configuration over a pair of underground fibers between Braunschweig and Strasbourg. This fiber link is the first to combine fiber Brillouin amplifiers with a repeater laser station. Phase-coherent operation over more than five days is demonstrated. We analyze the repeatability of the performance over four campaigns and present results of 65 days in total. The weighted mean of the fractional frequency offset of the transferred optical frequency over the complete data set is $(-1.1 pm 0.4) times 10^{-20}$. By analyzing the stabilization signals of the two individual fibers, the correlation of the phase noise on the two fibers is shown to be >98%.

We report on a fully bi-directional 680~km fiber link connecting two cities for which the equipment, the set up and the characterization are managed for the first time by an industrial consortium. The link uses an active telecommunication fiber netwo
rk with parallel data traffic and is equipped with three repeater laser stations and four remote double bi-directional Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. We report a short term stability at 1~s integration time of $5.4times 10^{-16}$ in 0.5~Hz bandwidth and a long term stability of $1.7times10^{-20}$ at 65,000 s of integration time. The accuracy of the frequency transfer is evaluated as $3times 10^{-20}$. No shift is observed within the statistical uncertainty. We show a continuous operation over 5 days with an uptime of 99.93$%$. This performance is comparable with the state of the art coherent links established between National Metrology Institutes in Europe. It is a first step in the construction of an optical fiber network for metrology in France, which will give access to an ultra-high performance frequency standard to a wide community of scientific users.
We report on the realization of a novel fiber-optic radio frequency (RF) transfer scheme with the bidirectional frequency division multiplexing (FDM) dissemination technique. Here, the proper bidirectional frequency map used in the forward and backwa
rd directions for suppressing the backscattering noise and ensuring the symmetry of the bidirectional transfer RF signals within one telecommunication channel. We experimentally demonstrated a 0.9 GHz signal transfer over a 120 km optical link with the relative frequency stabilities of 2.2E-14 at 1 s and 4.6E-17 at 20,000 s. The implementation of phase noise compensation at the remote site has the capability to perform RF transfer over a branching fiber network with the proposed technique as needed by large-scale scientific experiments.
In long-haul optical continuous-wave frequency transfer via fiber, remote bidirectional Er$^+$-doped fiber amplifiers are commonly used to mitigate signal attenuation. We demonstrate for the first time the ultrastable transfer of an optical frequency
using a remote fiber Brillouin amplifier, placed in a server room along the link. Using it as the only means of remote amplification, on a 660 km loop of installed underground fiber we bridge distances of 250 km and 160 km between amplifications. Over several days of uninterrupted measurement we find an instability of the frequency transfer (Allan deviation of $Lambda$-weighted data with 1 s gate time) of around $1times10^{-19}$ and less for averaging times longer than 3000 s. The modified Allan deviation reaches $3times10^{-19}$ at an averaging time of 100 s, corresponding to the current noise floor at this averaging time. For averaging times longer than 1000 s the modified Allan deviation is in the $10^{-20}$ range. A conservative value of the overall accuracy is $1times10^{-19}$.
We report long-term laser frequency stabilization using only the target laser and a pair of 5 m fiber interferometers, one as a frequency reference and the second as a sensitive thermometer to stabilize the frequency reference. When used to stabilize
a distributed feedback laser at 795 nm, the frequency Allan deviation at 1000 s drops from 5.6*10^{-8} to 6.9*10^{-10}. The performance equals that of an offset lock employing a second, atom-stabilized laser in the temperature control.
To significantly improve the frequency references used in radio-astronomy and precision measurements in atomic physics, we provide frequency dissemination through a 642 km coherent optical fiber link, that will be also part of a forthcoming European
network of optical links. We obtained a resolution of 3e-19 at 1000 s on the frequency transfer, and an accuracy of 5e-19. The ultimate link performance has been evaluated by doubling the link to 1284 km, demonstrating a new characterization technique based on the double round-trip on a single fiber. The arming of a second fiber is avoided: this is beneficial to long hauls realizations in view of a continental fiber network for frequency and time metrology. The data analysis is based on the Allan deviation; its expression is theoretically derived for the observed noise power spectrum, which is seldom found in the literature.
