Claim Text:
1. A system for generating distributed timing signals having precision of a reference timing signal comprising: a reference oscillator arranged to generate the reference timing signal; a femtosecond laser configured to produce a femtosecond laser pulse sequence stabilized by the reference oscillator, the femtosecond laser pulse sequence having a precision of the reference timing signal to within a portion of a femtosecond; a transfer laser locked to the femto second laser pulse sequence; and a plurality of beamsplitters arranged to split an output of the transfer laser into a plurality of split laser pulse sequences for distribution to a plurality of remote nodes that are configured to generate distributed timing signals based on associated ones of the plurality of split laser pulse sequences, the distributed timing signals having the precision of the reference timing signal.
