Abstract :
In this paper, a novel timing jitter reduction system is introduced for time distribution in a long fiber. The system can stabilize the optical path by compensating the difference of ninth harmonic phase of mode-locked laser pulses in two routine. In our RF transfer experiment, we have obtained 3.3ps RMS timing jitter of a 100-kilometer fiber link.
