A scientific workshop was held on January 20-21, 2023, with a focus on Laboratory 1 of the NLPQT Project, The National System for Generation and Distribution of Reference Optical Carrier. The capabilities of the frequency distribution system and prospects for its use in science and industry have been presented. The following topics were also discussed:
•generation and comparison of ultra-stable reference frequencies,
•distribution of reference frequencies through fiber optic networks,
•time synchronization,
•the use of optical frequency standards in the spectroscopy of ultracold molecules, atoms and ions,
•applications of femtosecond lasers in frequency metrology and conversion to other spectral ranges.

The workshop included tours of the laboratories of the NLPQT Project and the National Laboratory for Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics (FAMO).

The workshop was held at the Institute of Physics of the Nicolaus Copernicus University, Grudziądzka 5 Street in Toruń, in the Aleksander Jabłoński’s Auditorium. Participation in the workshop was free of charge. Pictures from the workshop can be found at the bottom of this page.
