Atom-based stabilization for laser-pumped atomic clocks

March 27, 2006
Author(s)
Vladislav Gerginov, V Shah, Svenja A. Knappe, Leo W. Hollberg, John E. Kitching
Progress towards simplification and improvement of the long-term stability of chip-scale atomic clocks is presented. The conventional technique of laser optical frequency and cell temperature control is compared with a novel technique which avoids the use

High-Contrast CPT Resonances

February 7, 2006
Author(s)
John E. Kitching
The performance of an atomic clock or magnetometer based on CPT is determined by the resonance width and the signal-to-noise ratio. In particular, a large signal amplitude results in a high stability for a clock or a high sensitivity for a magnetometer

Long-term Frequency Stability of Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks

January 26, 2006
Author(s)
Vladislav Gerginov, Svenja A. Knappe, V Shah, P Schwindt, Leo W. Hollberg, John E. Kitching
We present an evaluation of the long-term frequency instability and environmental sensitivity of a chip-scale atomic clock based on coherent population trapping (CPT), particularly as affected by the light source subassembly. The long-term frequency

Chip-Scale Atomic Devices at NIST

January 25, 2006
Author(s)
John E. Kitching
The NIST program on chip-scale atomic devices (CSAD) seeks to design, build and characterize miniature atomic instruments and sensors based on fabrication techniques traditionally used in the field of microelectronics and micro-electric-mechanical systems

Self-Oscillating Rubidium Magnetometer using Nonlinear Magneto-Optical Rotation

December 14, 2005
Author(s)
P Schwindt, Leo W. Hollberg, John E. Kitching
The detection of nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) of polarized light through alkali atomic vapor is a highly sensitive technique for measuring magnetic fields. We demonstrate that when using frequency modulated light to excite the NMOR resonance
