These results demonstrate a better description of the microwave properties than previous work where the Ramsey cavity was usually studied as an ideal rectangular microwave cavity.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80043068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this system, the saturated absorption spectroscopy was used. The current and the grating of the ECDL were controlled by a computer-based feedback control system. By checking any mode boundaries in the spectrum, the control system determined how to adjust current to avoid mode hopping. This procedure was executed periodically to ensure the long-term stabilization of ECDL in the absence of mode hops. This laser diode system without antireflection-coating had over operated in the condition of long-term mode hopping free stabilization for almost 400 hours. Last year, we have added template matching technics to the system. The ECDL stabilization time has been extended to almost 1200 hours without any manual intervention further. This is a significant improvement of ECDL frequency stabilization system. This technique is very useful in some applications such as laser atomic cooling and atom fountain etc.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85244250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then and up to early 2015 the time difference UTC - UTC(PTB) was always less than 9 ns. From early on it was foreseen that the steering of UTC(PTB) could also be derived from the ensemble of caesium beam clocks operated in PTB.

Finite element models were developed using a theory of small deformations superposed on finite initial deformations in a Lagrangian formulation. AT- and SC-cut quartz circular plate resonators were studied. The plates were respectively subjected to diametrical compression force and bending force. The initial strains due to the application of diametrical force represented initial strains due to in-plane acceleration, while the initial strains due to bending force represented initial strains due to out-of-plane acceleration. Our model results using nonlinear initial strains showed good agreement with measured data by Ballato, Mingins, and Fletcher and Douglas. The model results using linear initial strains compared well only with the measured data for plates subjected to diametrical force but not for plates subjected to bending forces. Hence our model results showed that for accurate prediction of out-of-plane acceleration sensitivity the nonlinear initial strains must be used. The linear initial stress/strain cannot fully capture rotation and bending effects. The acceleration sensitivity model using linear initial strains could only be employed for in-plane acceleration, or for very low g out-of-plane acceleration. The SC-cut crystals showed better linearity of frequency change with respect to applied bending forces than the AT-cut crystals. The principle of superposition for out-of-plane acceleration sensitivity in AT-cut crystals is in general not valid, especially in cases of high g accelerations.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79990905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The beat frequency and its fluctuations are detected and accurately measured through digital signal processing, which is capable of up to mHz or higher frequency resolutions (for GHz signal). The frequency discrimination via our method is comparable to that of the Ramsey fringes method, and the working range is no longer limited by the width of line shape. This enables us to achieve an atomic clock by actively compensating the frequency shift, which eliminates the need for a phase locking loop, and broadens the working range with increasing reliability. This novel scheme could be extended to the optical frequency region, implying possible future applications in optical atomic clocks, optical frequency comb, atomic spectroscopy and other related researches.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76810649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to suppression and/or reduction these impacts, gyroscopic mounting is proposed to install oscillator on it. One of the main parameters which affect dynamic loads impacts on oscillator output is crystal g-sensitivity vector. Therefore, at first, statistical study has been accomplished on this parameter for SC-cut crystals which used in high dynamic oscillators. This study reveals that the angle between this vector and crystal surface (φ) nearly follows Rayleigh distribution with 1σ=19°. Thus, this vector tends to be close to crystal surface not perpendicular to it. Furthermore the analysis results of using gyro-mounting shows the acceptable results for quartz crystals with |φ|<;2σ=38° (85%). To prove gyro efficiency, its effect on each dynamic load is analyzed separately. The results of related analyses reveal that gyro shows its best for attitude change of host vehicle, such that it totally suppresses relevant disturbances. In the case of steady state load, sinusoidal and random vibrations, gyro best effects appear for |φ|<;30° and β angles which are not too close to 90°. Totally when high dynamic crystal oscillator is installed on gyro-mounting, the probability of observing instability on its output is reduced.","PeriodicalId":57667,"journal":{"name":"时间频率公报","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87806987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
