Based on the pulsed-optical timing synchronization scheme, the system can serve 15 remote optical and microwave sources in parallel via timing stabilized fiber links. Relative timing jitter between two link outputs is less than 1 fs RMS integrated over an extended measurement time from 1 μs to 2.5 days. The current system is also able to generate stabilized microwaves at the link outputs with 25-fs RMS precision over 8 h, which can be easily improved to few-femtosecond regime with higher quality VCOs.
