Anne Amy-Klein

Anne Amy-Klein is a Professor and Laboratory Director at University of Paris 13, leading research at the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers (LPL). Her work focuses on precision optical frequency metrology, fiber-optic time and frequency transfer, and advanced laser spectroscopy techniques.

Her primary research interests include:

• Optical frequency standards and dissemination
• Fiber optic links for high-precision time transfer
• Laser spectroscopy of molecules
• Quantum physics applications in metrology
• Parity violation studies in chiral molecules
• Development of optical clock networks

Professor Amy-Klein's research has achieved remarkable precision in optical frequency transfer, demonstrating stability at the 10^-21 level over fiber networks. Her work bridges fundamental physics with practical metrological applications, particularly in developing international optical clock networks for geodesy, fundamental physics tests, and redefinition of the SI second.

Her significant contributions include:

• Pioneering work on coherent optical fiber links for international clock comparisons
• Development of techniques for ultra-stable optical frequency dissemination
• Advancements in mid-infrared spectroscopy with traceability to primary standards
• Research on parity violation in chiral molecules using precision spectroscopy
• Development of methods for high-precision Boltzmann constant determination

Professor Amy-Klein leads an active research group with multiple international collaborations across European metrology institutes, focusing on the next generation of optical frequency standards and their applications in both fundamental science and practical metrology.
