Abstract
The production of a time scale based on the use of an oscillation period of a highly stable laser is first reported. The new time standard allows to transfer frequency characteristics of a highly stable laser in the frequency range from 0 to 1014 Hz with no losses in accuracy. Radio-frequency oscillators were synchronized with the aid of fast-response systems of phase offset lock at division of laser frequencies.
