A Wide-Frequency-Tuning Micro-Loop-Gap Resonator for Miniature Rubidium Vapor-Cell Atomic Frequency Standards

To miniaturize the double-resonance (DR) rubidium (Rb) vapor-cell atomic clocks, a new type of micro-loop-gap microwave resonator (mu-LGR) is proposed for TE011-like mode where the magnetic field inside the cavity is homogeneous and oriented along its long ...

Microwave Cavity Characterization for Rubidium Frequency Standards

Anton Evgeniev Ivanov

We report our studies on the new designed magnetron-type microwave cavity operating in the TE011-like mode, at the rubidium hyperfine ground-state frequency of about 6.835 GHz. The properties of the cavity resonance were studied as a function of cavity tem ...

Study of Field Misalignment in a Cavity Used for Atomic Clock Applications

Anja Skrivervik

In vapor cell atomic clocks the atom-field interaction is typically obtained inside a microwave cavity resonator in which the microwave driving field together with a static magnetic field and an optical field are applied to excite the atoms. These fields a ...

Bose-Einstein condensation in semiconductors: myth or reality?

Bose-Einstein condensation, predicted for a gas of non interacting bosons in 1924 by Einstein, has been demonstrated for the first time in 1995 in a dilute gas of rubidium atoms at temperatures below 10(-6) K. In this work, it is shown that Bose-Einstein c ...
