Abstract

Ultra-precise timing technique with low-power lasers holds immense significance in numerous advanced applications. Presently, the nonlinear-optics-based timing method falls short in delivering sufficient resolution under low-power conditions, while the intricate setup of the linear heterodyne timing technique makes it hard to implement. In this article, based on the AOM timing detection principle, an attosecond-precision balanced timing detector is firstly evaluated. By utilizing time and frequency multiplexing configuration, an electronic-noise-suppression timing detector is then demonstrated. Given the simplicity, low power consumption, and exceptional timing precision of our approach, these two linear-optics-based timing methods hold broad applicability in the realms of metrology, ranging, and synchronization.
