Abstract

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a gravitational wave detector in space. It relies on a postprocessing technique named time-delay interferometry to suppress the overwhelming laser frequency noise by several orders of magnitude. This algorithm requires intersatellite-ranging monitors to provide information on spacecraft separations. To fulfill this requirement, we use on-ground observatories, optical sideband-sideband beatnotes, pseudorandom noise ranging (PRNR), and time-delay interferometric ranging (TDIR). This article reports on the experimental end-to-end demonstration of a hexagonal optical testbed used to extract absolute ranges via the optical sidebands, PRNR, and TDIR. These were applied for clock synchronization of optical beatnote signals sampled at independent phasemeters. We set up two possible PRNR processing schemes: Scheme 1 extracts pseudoranges from PRNR via a calibration relying on TDIR; Scheme 2 synchronizes all beatnote signals without TDIR calibration. The schemes rely on newly implemented monitors of local-PRNR biases. After the necessary PRNR treatments (unwrapping, ambiguity resolution, bias correction, in-band jitter reduction, and/or calibration), Schemes 1 and 2 achieved ranging accuracies of 2.0-8.1 cm and 5.8-41.1 cm, respectively, below the classical 1-m mark with margins.
