Scientific paper

The new generation of optical time transfer will allow the synchronization of remote ultra stable clocks and the determination of their performances over intercontinental distances. The principle of T2L2 (Time Transfer by Laser Link) is based on laser ranging technique coupled with time-frequency metrology and consists in synchronizing ground and space clocks using short light pulses traveling between the ground and a satellite. The instrument will be integrated to the Jason-2 altimetric satellite billed for launch in 2008. The experiment should enhance the performances of time transfer by one or two magnitudes as compared to existing microwave techniques like GPS and Two-Way.
