From years 2010 to 2012, a key comparison of power standards at 50/60 Hz was conducted in the SIM region. The comparison included measurements of active and reactive power at three frequencies, aiming at providing support to high accuracy measurement needs of reactive power. This paper presents the results of the SIM.EM-K5 comparison and the assessment of the link between this comparison and the CCEM-K5 key comparison on 50/60 Hz power completed in 2001.

This paper gives a brief description of the laser interferometer system designed for the next generation watt balance experiment aimed to realize the unit of mass by direct link to the Planck constant at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The light source is an iodine-stabilized frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at λ=532nm. Three heterodyne interferometers with subnanometer non-linearity errors measure the angular and the vertical displacements of the induction coil.

Josephson impedance bridges have been reported to provide uncertainties close to that from the best conventional bridges when comparing 1:1 impedance ratios. For a 10:1 capacitance ratio (100 pF to 10 pF) a type A uncertainty accuracy of a few parts in 107 has been achieved with 1-V programmable Josephson arrays. The accuracy can be significantly improved when using 10-V Josephson arrays. Preliminary measurements are also presented with type A uncertainties at the level of parts in 108 (k = 1).

A dual rf drive programmable Josephson voltage standard can generate quasi-continuous voltages. This paper focuses on the mathematical solutions to maximize the voltage resolution and describes one algorithm that can be used to solve this problem. Quasi-continuous voltages with a resolution of a few nanovolts can be achieved using Josephson junction arrays with missing junctions and arbitrary bit structure.

This paper describes the application of the methodology established in the Supplement 1 to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement for the evaluation of uncertainties in the measurement of losses in power transformers. Also presented is the criterion for the validation of the software used for these measurements based on the original Guide. This additional method was developed since the original one presents some limitations, especially those related to the degree of nonlinearity of the measuring models. The results suggest that this degree of nonlinearity is such that the application of this supplementary method is necessary.

Traceable calibration of high-speed communications test equipment face challenges. The propagation of uncertainty from primary waveform standards can be done by using a covariance matrix approach, which becomes impractical as the waveform data length increases. With the new compressed covariance matrix approach uncertainty can be propagated for long waveform records. A freely available software tool for uncertainty assessment is presented.

A novel derivation procedure and constraint condition of the equation of reflection coefficient of equivalent source is presented. In the system of power sensor calibration, the reflection coefficient of equivalent signal source is an essential factor to figure out the calibration factor or effective efficiency. This paper gives a proof why the equivalent coefficient signal source can be used in power sensor calibration when the system of equivalent signal source is open-loop.

We report on the progress toward an indium ion optical frequency standard with an expected accuracy of 10-18. A 115In+ has been successfully prepared by sympathetic cooling with two laser-cooled 40Ca+ ions. The clock laser at 237 nm has been constructed as the forth harmonic of an amplified diode laser with a linewidth smaller than 0.9 Hz. After beam shaping and intensity stabilization a power over 10 mW is available for the clock transition (1S0-3P0) interrogation. Observation of the clock transition is in progress by employing the electron shelving method using the 1S0-3P1 transition at 230 nm.

Nanoscale single-electron pumps could serve as the realization of a new quantum standard of electrical current. Here, a silicon quantum dot with tunable tunnel barriers is used as a source of quantized current. By controlling the electrostatic confinement of the dot via purposely engineered gate electrodes, we show that the robustness of the pumping mechanism can be dramatically enhanced and the detrimental effects due to non-adiabatic transitions are largely reduced. Our pump can produce a current in excess of 80 pA with experimentally determined relative uncertainty lower than 50 parts per million.
