Abstract :
The characteristics of microwave-power-dependent frequency shifts of an optically pumped Cs frequency standard are reported. The general features of the shifts are in good agreement with simple theoretical predictions. The shift is quite symmetrical in beam reversal, and the standard deviation of the difference between the observed and predicted shift is about 6×10-14
