  • Abstract
    In this paper we present a prototype of Rb clock working in pulsed regime with high freq stability performances. In particular, a frequency stability as low as 1.6×10-13τ -1/2 has been measured for integration times up to 105 s. In the short term, this represents a record result for a hot-vapor-cell frequency standard.
