Laser-pumped and laser-cooled atomic clocks for space applications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2009
Abstract
Highly stable atomic frequency standards are of increasing importance for a variety of space applications, ranging from communication to navigation and time transfer to tests of fundamental science. We present a discussion of the improvements possible with laser pumping of vapor cell clocks, including applying coherent population trapping (CPT) techniques. We also present our progress toward a cold atom clock based on magneto-optically trapped atoms for space applications.
