SummaryThe ion microwave frequency standard is a candidate for the next generation of practical microwave frequency standards, which has a very wide application potential. Tsinghua University has continuously been working on the research and development of ion microwave frequency standards. A demonstration experiment of two laser-cooled cadmium ion microwave clocks with zero dead time shows a short-term stability of τ-0.95averaging. Besides, a microwave frequency standard based on cadmium ions sympathetically cooled by ytterbium ions has been realized, and the clock signal has been obtained. In addition, two new laser-cooled ytterbium ion microwave clocks are also being built.

Development of a portable laser-cooled ytterbium ion microwave atomic clock

Sean Mulholland

Portable microwave clocks that incorporate laser cooling promise to bring significantly improved performance compared to commercially available microwave clocks that are based on thermal atoms. This thesis reports on the development of a portable, laser-cooled ytterbium-171 trapped-ion microwave frequency standard from design to testing.
