Iliade: combination of three length scales Three measurements: Optical wavelength (L mod opt)phase measurement (highest resolution, < nm) + Synthetic wavelength (L mod )phase measurement at µ-wave frequencies: interm. length scale, to <<10-4 cycle + Time-of-flight measurement same signal long-term phase drifts in microwave components>> 10-4cycle! collab. Etienne Samain, GéoAzur, OCA Stéphane Pitois, ICB, Univ. Dijon
