Improvement of the short- and long-term stability of high performance portable optically pumped cesium beam atomic clock

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
The research of optically pumped cesium beam atomic clock (OPCB) at Peking University has lasted for decades. At present, the short-term frequency stability is 3×10−12/τ and the long-term (5-day) frequency stability can reach 7 × 10−15.

A low phase noise microwave source for high‐performance CPT Rb atomic clock

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 2021
Phase noise of the frequency synthesizer is one of the main limitations to the short‐term stability of microwave atomic clocks. Here, a low‐noise, simple‐architecture microwave frequency synthesizer for a coherent population trapping (CPT) clock is ...

Active optical clock based on four-level quantum system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Active optical clock, a new conception of atomic clock, has been proposed recently. In this report, we propose a scheme of active optical clock based on four-level quantum system.

Analysis of the Long-Term Characteristics of BDS On-Orbit Satellite Atomic Clock: Since BDS-3 Was Officially Commissioned

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Satellite atomic clocks are the key elements for position, navigation, and timing services of the Global navigation satellite system (GNSS); it is necessary to research the characteristics of BDS-3 on-orbit satellite atomic clocks for their further ...

Feasibility of the optical fiber clock [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We explore the feasibility of a compact high-precision Hg atomic clock based on a hollow core optical fiber. We evaluate the sensitivity of the $^1S_0$-$^3P_0$ clock transition in Hg and other divalent atoms to the fiber inner core surface at non-zero ...

A lab-based test of the gravitational redshift with a miniature clock network

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts that a clock at a higher gravitational potential will tick faster than an otherwise identical clock at a lower potential, an effect known as the gravitational redshift.

Making optical atomic clocks more stable with $10^{-16}$ level laser stabilization

open access: yes, 2011
The superb precision of an atomic clock is derived from its stability. Atomic clocks based on optical (rather than microwave) frequencies are attractive because of their potential for high stability, which scales with operational frequency. Nevertheless,

Space-Time Reference with an Optical Link

open access: yes, 2015
We describe a method for realizing a high-performance Space-Time Reference (STR) using a stable atomic clock in a precisely defined orbit and synchronizing the orbiting clock to high-accuracy atomic clocks on the ground.

A Quantum Scattering Interferometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The collision of two ultra-cold atoms results in a quantum-mechanical superposition of two outcomes: each atom continues without scattering and each atom scatters as a spherically outgoing wave with an s-wave phase shift.
