  • Abstract
    We describe a design for a microfabricated atomic frequency reference with a volume of several cubic millimetres and a power dissipation in the range of tens of milliwatts. It is anticipated that this frequency reference will be capable of achieving a fractional frequency instability below 10-11 at integration times of hours.
