Brandywine - OSA 3300 - 3RU Optical-Cesium Timing Reference
- First commercial high-performance cesium atomic clock using optical pumping — 100 times more atoms can be measured compared to magnetic clocks.
- Offers 10 times higher clock stability.
- Double the operational lifetime compared with traditional magnetic cesium clocks.
- Wide range of ultra-low noise frequency outputs (e.g. 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 100 MHz) — plus multiple 1PPS outputs, supporting high-precision timing distribution.
- Frequency accuracy ≤ ±5 × 10⁻¹³; reproducibility after power cycle ≤ ±1 × 10⁻¹³.
- Adjustable frequency offset: resolution ±1 × 10⁻¹⁵, range ±1 × 10⁻⁹.
- Rack-mount (3RU, 19″)
The OSA 3300 sets a new benchmark in high-performance optical-cesium timing — delivering ultra-stable, long-lasting time and frequency reference for metrology, defence or any environment demanding the highest synchronization precision. With ten-year lifespan and modern remote-management design, the OSA 3300 offers exceptional reliability and future-proof performance for mission-critical networks.
