A cesium beam atomic clock using laser optical pumping. Preliminary tests
2014 A passive microwave cesium beam resonator utilizing optical pumping with a C.W. narrowband tunable laser (here, a GaAs laser) has been realized. A population difference between the levels of the ground state hyperfine transition of 133Cs (at 9 192.631... MHz) is achieved by optical pumping with the GaAs laser; the microwave resonance is detected through a change in the intensity of the flu...
متن کاملA compact laser head with high-frequency stability for Rb atomic clocks and optical instrumentation
We present a compact and frequency-stabilized laser head based on an extended-cavity diode laser. The laser head occupies a volume of 200 cm3 and includes frequency stabilization to Doppler-free saturated absorption resonances on the hyperfine components of the Rb D2 lines at 780 nm, obtained from a simple and compact spectroscopic setup using a 2 cm3 vapor cell. The measured frequency stabilit...
متن کاملMicroresonator frequency comb optical clock
Optical frequency combs serve as the clockwork of optical clocks, which are now the best time-keeping systems in existence. The use of precise optical time and frequency technology in various applications beyond the research lab remains a significant challenge, but one that integrated microresonator technology is poised to address. Here, we report a silicon-chip-based microresonator comb optica...
متن کاملSingle-atom optical clock with high accuracy.
For the past 50 years, atomic standards based on the frequency of the cesium ground-state hyperfine transition have been the most accurate time pieces in the world. We now report a comparison between the cesium fountain standard NIST-F1, which has been evaluated with an inaccuracy of about 4 x 10(-16), and an optical frequency standard based on an ultraviolet transition in a single, laser-coole...
متن کاملQuantum Projection Noise in an Atomic Fountain: A High Stability Cesium Frequency Standard
We describe the operation of a laser cooled cesium fountain clock in the quantum limited regime. An ultrastable cryogenic sapphire oscillator is used to measure the short-term frequency stability of the fountain as a function of the number of detected atoms Nat. For Nat varying from 4 3 104 to 6 3 105 the Allan standard deviation of the frequency fluctuations is in excellent agreement with the ...
