Long-term stability of NIST chip-scale atomic clock physics packages

We discuss the long-term stability of the NIST chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC) physics packages. We identify the major factors that currently limit the frequency stability of our CSAC packages after 100 s. The requirements for the stability of the vapor cell and laser temperature, local magnetic field, and local oscillator output power are evaluated. Due to the small size of CSAC physics package assemblies, advances MEMS packaging techniques for vacuum sealing and thermal isolation can be used to achieve the temperature stability goals. We discuss various ideas on how to aid temperature control solutions over wide variations in ambient temperature by implementing atom-based stabilization schemes. Control of environment-related frequency instabilities will be critical for successful insertion of CSACs into portable instruments in the areas of navigation and communication.

Long-Term Stability of NIST Chip-Scale Atomic Clock Physics Packages

We present measurements regarding the long-term frequency stability of NIST chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC) physics packages. Changes of the clock frequency are caused mainly through time-dependent light shifts by the frequency-modulated VCSEL and properties of the vapor cell. We suggest advanced CPT interrogation schemes to relax the requirements on the temperature stability of the VCSEL as well as the power of the local oscillator. Finally, we discuss the advantages and limitations of these techniques when implemented into a small package.
