  • Abstract
    We present two lines of investigations on vapor cell based laser-microwave double-resonance (DR) rubidium atomic frequency standards: a compact high-performance clock exhibiting σy(τ) <; 1.4×10-13 τ-1/2 and a miniaturized clock with σy(τ) <; 1×10-11 τ-1/2. The applications of these standards are emphasized towards portable applications such as next generation GNSS, deep space missions and telecommunications. Other techniques for DR clocks are discussed in brief.
