title: Fiber-based multiple-access optical frequency dissemination.
abstract: We demonstrate a fiber-based, multiple-access optical frequency dissemination scheme. Without using any additional laser sources, we reproduce the stable disseminated frequency at an arbitrary point along the fiber link. Relative frequency stabilities of 3×10(-16)/s and 4×10(-18)/10(4) s are obtained. A branching fiber network for high-precision synchronization of optical frequency is made possible by this method, and its applications are discussed.
