We present our recently experimental results on a DFB laser diode pumped Rubidium atomic frequency standard. Our experiment was based on a homemade lamp-pumped Rubidium frequency standard with the discharge lamp assembly removed. In the experiment, we first locked a DFB laser diode to the87Rb cycling transition (5S1/2, F=2→5P3/2, F=3) by means of saturation absorption locking technique. After that, we optimized the parameters carefully related to the clock performance, such as temperature of the physical package, amplitude of the modulation signal for the laser locking. The preliminary short-term stability of our clock is measured 5.25×10−12τ−1/2(1s<τ<100s).

A laser optically-pumped Rubidium vapour-cell frequency standard using a DFB laser diode

C. Affolderbach, G. Mileti, Fabien Droz

A laser optically-pumped vapour-cell atomic frequency standard ("Rb clock") using a DFB laser diode as pump light source is presented. The Rb clock is based on probing the ground-state hyperfine "clock" transition at 6.8 GHz of atomic87Rb, by optical-microwave double-resonance technique. The frequency stability of the clock is measured.

Potential for improving the Rubidium Frequency Standard with a novel optical pumping scheme using diode lasers

Natarajan D. Bhaskar

Frequency stability of a Rubidium Frequency Standard (RFS) is directly related to the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the microwave-induced (6834 MHz) optical signal which is proportional to the fractional atomic population difference between the two M/sub F/=0 ground state sublevels of /sup 87/Rb. In the present RFSs this fractional population difference is small (>

A DFB laser-pumped rubidium atomic frequency standard

DONG TAI-QIAN

We use one DFB laser diode(780 nm) as the pumping source,which is based on a homemade traditional rubidium frequency standard with the discharge lamp assembly removed.The laser frequency is locked to the 87Rb cycling transition(52S1/2,F=2→52P3/2,F=3) by means of traditional saturation absorption locking technique and the microwave rubidium frequency standard locking loop is accomplished.The initial short-term stability of the rubidium clock is measured to be 3.7×10-12 τ-1/2(1~100 s).

A compact, high-performance laser-pumped rubidium atomic frequency standard

C. Affolderbach, G. Mileti, Fabien Droz

The paper presents the realisation of a high-performance vapour-cell atomic frequency standard demonstrator based on laser optical pumping. The development of such devices aims to fully exploit the advantages of using a narrow-band diode laser pump light source instead of the discharge lamps commonly used in Rb gas-cell clocks. These advantages include improved control over the pump light spectrum, higher selectivity of the optical pumping, and increased signal contrast, and thus show the potential for the realisation of Rb atomic clocks with improved short-term frequency stability.
